Where this word comes from

From Proto-Italic *swopnjom, derived from the root of somnus (“sleep”); possibly inherited from Proto-Indo-European *swópn-yo-m, from the root *swep- (“to sleep”). Cognate with Sanskrit स्वप्न्यम् (svápnyam, “vision in a dream”), Lithuanian sapnỹs (“sleep, dream”), Old Church Slavonic съниѥ (sŭnije, “dream”), Tocharian B sänmetse (“in a trance”). By surface analysis, somnus (“sleep”) + -ium (nominal derivational suffix).
