Etymology 1

From Middle French suis, from Old French sui, from Latin sum. The expected Old French reflex of sum would be *son. The form sui goes back to a Vulgar Latin *suī, which was probably influenced by the perfect tense fuī (“I was”, modern French fus). Compare the reverse development in Galician fun (“I was”), from Vulgar Latin *fum, influenced by the present form. Final -s was added in later Old French to the first-person singular forms by analogy with the second person; it was standardised in Modern French in most cases except after unstressed -e and in the ending -ai of the future and past historic.
