This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (cip "set close together"). Luce gives Old Chinese緝 (OC*sʰib, “to seize; to weave (close threads)”) as a cognate, which seems semantically reasonable and phonetically solid. Other possibilities: Reborrowed from the Monစိပ်, and/or related to စေ့(ce.)? Bears some resemblance to Old Chinese擠 (OC*ʔsliːl, *ʔsliːls, “to crowd, squeeze”), though a newer OC reconstruction would be helpful.”
