Etymology

From Demotic s-ḥmt (“woman”), from Egyptian zt-ḥmt (“woman”), from
z
t B1
(zt, “woman”) +
N41
t		 B1
 (ḥmt, “wife, woman”), a compound that arose because the feminine ending -t in zt eventually became silent, making zt homophonous with z (“man”), so that it became necessary to add ḥmt to distinguish between them. By surface analysis, ⲥⲁ (sa) +‎ ϩⲓⲙⲉ (hime).
