Etymology

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Not mentioned by Ratliff at all. Doesn't seem to bear resemblance to any other words for "apron" in the linguistic area; the closest thing might be Chinese 絲／丝 (sī, “silk; thread”) (is siv (“belt, sash”) connected to these terms?)

The "wife" sense is almost certainly a metonymic semantic extension of the "apron" meaning.”

Pronunciation

Noun

sev (classifier: daim)

  1. an apron
