Where this word comes from
Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *seh₂- Proto-Indo-European *-éyti Proto-Indo-European *sh₂ey- Proto-Indo-European *-tḗr Proto-Indo-European *-trom Proto-Indo-European *-tlom Proto-Indo-European *sh₂éytlom Proto-Italic *saitlom ~ *saiklom Latin saeculum From Proto-Italic *saiklom < *saitlom, probably from Proto-Indo-European *sh₂éytlom (“lifetime, lifespan”), from *sh₂ey- (“to bind, knit, tie together, tie to, connect”) + *-tlom (instrumental suffix) (whence Latin -culum), in the sense of successive generations being linked together over time. Compare Lithuanian sėkla (“seed”), Proto-Celtic *saitlom (“life, age”), Gaulish Sētlocenia, Hittite [script needed] (išhi-, “to bind”), Sanskrit सि (si, “to bind”). An alternative theory derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *seh₁- (“to sow”).
