Etymology

[edit]

Semantically from Aramaic סדיין (seḏyān, type of oak), cognates with Classical Syriac ܣܕܝܢܐ (seḏyānā), Akkadian 𒄑𒋛𒅔𒁕𒀀 (sindu, a tree); from the Semitic root س ن د (s-n-d) meaning “to stay”, “to prop up”, “to set up pieces of wood for reinforcement”. Connected to the wood’s common use in construction and sturdiness; compare סדנא (saddānā, foundation; the trunk or base of a tree), Hebrew סַד (sad, torture stocks; a place for securing prisoners). Uncertain connections to Persian سندیان (sendiyân, type of oak), perhaps related to Middle Persian [script needed] (cytn' /⁠cidān⁠/, to gather, to pile up) as in the collecting of wood.
