Sente is also referenced as "S" on letters shown on Perplexcity.com
The root meaning of Sente is "playing first" (having the initiative). A player has sente if it is their turn and they do not have to answer their opponent's last move. Thus, a player who has sente can decide where to play next. Accordingly derives from the game "Go".
Opinion of the Perplex City Sentinel is that Sente should be removed as the master of the Perplex City Academy (article available here)
