Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *sjū́ˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *syewH- (“to bind, to tie”), whence also Latvian siet (“to bind”). A historical connection between the meanings “to tie, to bind” and “to sew” is also found elsewhere (cf. Sanskrit सीव्यति (sī́vyati, “to sew”), which has an older meaning “link, bond”.) Cognates include Lithuanian siū́ti, Old Prussian schuwikis (“cobbler”, literally “shoe-sewer”), Old Church Slavonic шити (šiti), Russian шить (šitʹ), Belarusian шыць (šycʹ), Ukrainian ши́ти (šýty), Bulgarian шия (šija), Czech šíti, Polish szyć, Gothic 𐍃𐌹𐌿𐌾𐌰𐌽 (siujan), Old Norse sýja, Old High German siuwan, Sanskrit स्यूत (syūta), Latin suō.
