Etymology
1. Perhaps from earlier *sūjō, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *syewH-, but the exact formation is uncertain; maybe from *syewH-ye-ti with dissimilatory syncope, if not from an alternative root shape *sewH- found also in Indo-Aryan. Cognates include Sanskrit सीव्यति (sī́vyati), सूत्र (sū́tra, “thread, yarn, string; rule”), Lithuanian siūti, and Old English siwian (English sew).
2. It is unclear how both the PIE root and the jō-stem verb resulted in Latin su-, as opposed to si- or siv-. See: Sanskrit '
सीव्यति', Lithuanian '
siūti', Old English '
siwian'.
