Where this word comes from
From Proto-Finnic *süü (compare Estonian süü), from Proto-Uralic *siwe (compare Eastern Mari ший (šij), Komi-Zyrian сі (si), Tundra Nenets [script needed] (t̜́ì)). The sense “reason, cause” (and those akin to it) was originally figurative, and is also found elsewhere in Finnic.
