Where this word comes from
From Syph f (“syphilis”), clipping of Syphilis, either directly or as a back-formation from versifft (also spelt versypht). The use for “filth” has existed in slang since at least the 1960s; it became more widely accepted during the 1980s. While the origin from Syphilis is not in doubt, note that dialectally (e.g. Rhineland, parts of Hesse) there is a verb seifen, siffen, siefen (“to ooze, seep”), from Middle High German sīfen, from Proto-Germanic *sīpaną, by which it may have been influenced or reinforced.
