Where this word comes from

Uncertain. Has no cognates in the other Finnic languages, but the variant silevä was found in some dialects. Possibly from Proto-Uralic *śilä (“fat”) (compare Central Mansi [script needed] (šilt), Nganasan [script needed] (séla)), although this is not entirely regular. Alternatively, the word might be derived from the same root as sileä.
