Etymology
From Old Danish systær, søstær, from Old Norse systir, from Proto-Norse ᛊᚹᛖᛊᛏᚨᚱ (swestar), from Proto-Germanic *swestēr, cognate with German Schwester and English sister (probably influenced by Old Norse). The Germanic noun goes back to Proto-Indo-European *swésōr (“sister”), cognate with Latin soror and Russian сестра́ (sestrá). See: Old Norse Nouns '
systir', German Nouns '
Schwester', English Nouns '
sister', Latin Nouns '
