Rhymes with -eː

Where it comes from

Uncertain. Several etymologies have been proposed, and a merger of some (or even all) of them is extremely likely.

* Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀲𑀳𑀺𑀤 (sahida), 𑀲𑀳𑀺𑀅 (sahia), from Sanskrit सहित (sahita, “with; accompanying”), from स- (sa-, “with”) + हित (hita, “placed”).

* Inherited from Sanskrit समम् (samam, “together; similarly, as”), from सम (samá, “same”), from Proto-Indo-Aryan *samHás, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *samHás, from Proto-Indo-European *somHós (“same”). Compare Braj सौं (sa͠u, “to, with”)..
