Ein bequemes Sitzmöbel für eine Person mit Rückenlehne und oft Armlehnen.

The German word "Sessel" is a noun that means "armchair" or "chair". It comes from the Middle High German "sesel", which refers to a seat. "Sessel" typically refers to a comfortable, upholstered chair with arms, used for sitting in living rooms or offices. Similar words in German include "Stuhl" (chair) and "Lehnstuhl" (lifted chair or a type of upholstered chair), but "Sessel" specifically emphasizes comfort and is usually larger and more plush than a standard "Stuhl."
