  1. patch of dry land in a swamp

    dialectal
Where this word comes from

Based on dialectal variants saijo, saajio, saario, saatio, a common proto-form *saadio (*saaẟio) can be reconstructed. Possibly an obscured derivative saari (“island”) + -io, in which the -r-, which is a common Western Finnish dialectal development from *-d-, has been interpreted as such, resulting in the other variants; this would imply that the form with -r- is primary.
