Etymology
1. Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese sino (“bell”), from Late Latin signum (“bell, ringing of a bell”), from Latin signum (“sign”), from Proto-Indo-European *sek- (“to cut”) or *sekʷ- (“to follow”).
2. Cognate with Galician sino, Catalan seny and Romansh zain. Also related to French tocsin and English tocsin (both ultimately from Old Occitan senh (“bell”)). Doublet of senha, senho, and signo. See: Old Portuguese Nouns '
