From Aramaicסכינא(sakkīnā), from Akkadian𒄑𒍣𒃶(sikkānum, “oar, steering paddle, rudder blade”), from Sumerian𒄑𒍣𒃶(g̃ešzi-gan/zigan/, “oar, steering paddle, rudder blade”). This is related to or possibly conflated with the Semitic س ك ن(s-k-n) meaning to stay in place, to be held at rest, and with the Akkadian𒄑𒆕(sikkatum, “peg, nail, a lock or pin broach, cone, wedge, pyramid, pinnacle, plowshare”), a source attested also in Arabicسَكّ(sakk, “pin, peg, nail, stake, wedge, plowshare”); cognate with Classical Syriacܣܰܟܺܝܢܳܐ(sakkīnā) and Hebrewסַכִּין(sakkī́n).
