сиге

Etymology

Borrowed from Finnic languages, such as Livvi siigu, Karelian siiga, Ludian siig, Veps sīg, cf. Votic siikõ, Ingrian siika, Finnish siika (“common whitefish”) and Estonian siig, ultimately from Proto-Finnic *siika (“common whitefish”), further origins unclear,[1][2][3] perhaps from Proto-Norse *ᛊᛁᚴᚨᛉ (*sikaʀ) (whence Old Norse síkr, Old Swedish siker, Swedish sik, Norwegian Bokmål sik, Old Danish sig), possibly from Proto-Germanic *sīkaz. Cognate include Latvian sīga, Lithuanian sykis.

First attested in c. 1140‒1160. Compare Russian сиг (sig), Middle Russian сигъ (sig), first attested only in 1496. Derivative сиговый (sigovyj, “whitefish-related”) since 1500, сиговина (sigovina, “whitefish meat”) and сиговица (sigovica, “fishing tackle”) since 1563. It seems that in Middle Russian the word was borrowed from Old Novgorodian.[2][1]
