Sine function

Etymology

Borrowed from Latin sinus (curve, bend; bosom), a translation of Arabic جَيْب (jayb, bosom), a misidentification of the notation جيب (j-y-b), written without vowel diacritics, standing for Arabic جِيبَ (jība, sine), in turn from Sanskrit ज्या (jyā, sine, chord, bowstring) through the similar Sanskrit जीव (jīva, sine, chord, life, existence). Doublet of sinus.

Pronunciation

Etymology 1

The function of this preposition was previously done with the use of sē, sēd (see sē-, sed), from Proto-Indo-European *swé (self), thus meaning "by itself", "without". Some still refer the si- in sine to this root, others refer it to Proto-Indo-European *só (this), whence si (if). And as sometimes nesi was also written, with -ne being (not), sine might literally mean "not this". Compare with nisi.

Yet others refer sine to Proto-Indo-European *sen(H)i (for oneself, without), itself possibly related to *swé or more likely a locative of *senH-.[1][2] Thus cognate with Ancient Greek ᾰ̓́νευ (áneu), ἄτερ (áter, without), Sanskrit सनुतर् (sanutar, away, off), Old English sundor; compare especially Tocharian B snai and Old Irish sain (separated, different) (Proto-Celtic *sanis), which may reflect the original PIE adverb.

The ablative is from a PIE ablative of separation or a comitative-instrumental analogous to cum. Compare Sanskrit विना (vinā).
