Alright /lit/, I was thinking;

If a strider strides and a chider chides, then logically a spider must spide.

But how do we define "spiding"? Is it something unique to spiders, or just an activity at which they excel?

Is Spiderman just the man who spides?

A spider spins a web. Although greatly altered from the equivalent dutch/german words for spider, 'spinnen'/'webspinnen', the english word 'spider' shares the same root.

No, you misunderstand the word "logically", just because 2 words in the English language follow that pattern doesn't mean that "logically" all nouns that end with -ider has verb that ends with -ide(s). Nice attempt at being clever though, I bet British comedians would eat up that shit.
