 Episcopal see - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch
In the strictest sense, an episcopal see (episcopus meaning bishop; an adaptation of the Greek word episkopos) refers to the cathedral of the bishop.
A special case is Holy See, which in the Roman Catholic Church refers to the papal office, or to the Vatican in general.
For example, in the strictest sense, in the Roman Catholic Church, the see of the Archdiocese of Westminster in England is Westminster Cathedral, but in a wider sense the same see is London, where the cathedral is located.

 Episcopal see - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
See comes from the Latin word sedes, meaning seat, which refers to the episcopal throne (cathedra) located in the bishop's church (cathedral) in which the bishop sits as the principal symbol of his office.
Canon law eventually came up with a solution for this problem, which is discussed in Holy See.
By extension, episcopal see also refers to the local ordinary jurisdiction of that chief bishop (the diocese or particular church) and also the governmental bodies assisting the bishop (such as the curia).
