Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *śáina, cf. Lithuanian šiẽnas, Latvian sìens, probably from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ḱeh₁y- (pale, faint) (with loss of the laryngeal before *-y-). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) Another theory derives the Balto-Slavic from Proto-Indo-European *ḱey- (to lie), though this is neither semantically convincing nor unconvincing. Possibly related to Ancient Greek κοινά (koiná, pasture, fodder); see there for further discussion.[1]
