Etymology
From Early Medieval Latin essere, from Latin esse. The form sois (second person plural present indicative) displaced expected *estes from Latin estis, second person plural of esse, while ye (third person singular present indicative) lost its ancestor's final st in est since it would have been too similar to yes (second person singular present indicative). The present subjunctive was extended with the Latin third conjugation endings, with the I in the ancestor verb's present subjunctive (originally part of that tense's endings) becoming part of the root. See: Latin Nouns '
sum'.
