Etymology
From Latin sētā (“silk”), probably via unattested Late Latin *sētīnus (“silken [cloth]”). Very frequently folk-etymologized to derive from Arabic زَيْتُون (zaytūn, “Zayton; olive”), a calque of Quanzhou's former Chinese nickname 刺桐城 (Cìtóngchéng, “Tung Tree City”), after the trees which had been extensively planted there in the 10th century by Liu Congxiao, but the derivation is unsupported. See: Latin Nouns '
sētā'.
