Etymology
From Proto-Finnic *sakna (compare southeastern dialectal saakna, sakna, Estonian saun), possibly borrowed from early Proto-Germanic *stakna- (later *stakkaz, whence English stack). Older sense "winter dwelling, a pit dug into snow for temporary shelter", compare Northern Sami suovdnji (“pit dug in snow”). See: English Nouns '
stack'.
