Proto-Slavic

Etymology 1

From *sětь (net, grid) +‎ *-iti, which ultimately descends from *sh₂ey- (to bind). Cognates include Lithuanian saisti (to guess), Proto-Germanic *siduz (custom), Welsh hud (magic).

The etymon is present only in South Slavic. Its original meaning probably was to make a connection, which eventually evolved into to recall a memory > to remember. Despite the superficial resemblance, the current etynom is distinct from *(u)sętiti (to sense).

Etymology 2

PIE word
*swé

From Proto-Indo-European *swēt-. Cognate with Lithuanian svẽčias (guest), Ancient Greek ἕταρος (hétaros, comrade). Per Derksen, the lengthened grade of the root is unexpected. The Indo-European root comes from the more basic root *swé (self) with a root extension.

The semantic shift relative, kin > to host is similar in nature to the development of Germanic *fulgāną (to follow) from *fulką (people). In both cases, the original meaning likely was to establish good relation with your relatives, which eventually evolved into to host or to follow, respectively.
