Etymology
A development of older sen (“sense, judgement”) (compare Italian senno), influenced by conjugated forms of sentir (“to feel”) (compare siento (“to feel”)). Probably, through the intermediate of a Gallo-Romance source such as Old Occitan sen, from Vulgar Latin *sennus, of Germanic origin (compare Dutch zin (“meaning, intention”), German Sinn (“sense, mind”), Norwegian sinn (“mind”), Swedish sinne (“mind, sense”)), from Proto-West Germanic *sinn, from Proto-Indo-European *sentnos, from Proto-Indo-European *sent- (“to feel”). See: Italian Nouns '
senno', Dutch Nouns '
zin', German Nouns '
Sinn', Swedish Nouns '
sinne'.
