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]
