Where this word comes from
From syer (“person who sews professionally”) + -ske (“feminine occupational suffix”). The base syer (“person who sews professionally”) is formed from sy (“to sew”) + -er (“agent noun suffix”), with sy (“to sew”) from Old Norse sýja (“to sew”). The suffix -ske (“feminine occupational suffix”) is from Middle Low German -sche, the feminine substantivized form of adjectival -sch, corresponding to Norwegian -sk. It was subsequently blended with the feminine suffix -se, from Old French -esse (“feminine noun suffix”). Compare Norwegian Nynorsk syerske and Danish syerske (“seamstress, dressmaker”).
