Etymology

Probably via unattested Late Latin sētīnus (“silken ”), from Latin sētā.[1] Very frequently folk-etymologized to derive from Arabic زيتون (“Zayton; olive”),[2] a calque of Quanzhou's former Chinese nickname 刺桐城 (Cìtóngchéng, “Tung Tree City”), after the trees which had been extensively planted there in the 10th century by Liu Congxiao,[3] but the derivation is unsupported.[1]
