The word setting is a verbal noun formed from the English word set, which has neither Latin or Greek origins.

It is one of a huge number of English words derived from the Germanic dialects of northern Germany and southern Denmark, brought to England in the 5th century and the following few hundred years by Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians, Wends, Franks and others.

The Old English verb was settan, to put or place.
