Etymology

From earlier *σϝίγ- (*swíg-), probably of imitative origin. Has been connected to Proto-West Germanic *swīgā (“silence”) (whence German schweigen (“to keep quiet”)); however, the Germanic term would reflect a Proto-Indo-European *sweygʰ-, which would yield Greek *εἱχ- (*heikh-), making inheritance from basic sound laws impossible. Probably not related to σιωπή (siōpḗ, “silence”), despite the resemblance. See: German Nouns 'schweigen'.
