Where this word comes from
From Old Swedish seghiare, seghare, säyare, from Middle Low German seyger, sēer, seyer, segger (“scale, balance, tower clock”), probably from Middle High German seigære (“scale, clock”). Possibly related to French essay (“attempt, test”), Italian saggio (“examination”), and Late Latin exagium (“weighing, weight, scale”). The balance in older tower clocks looked like the beam of a scale. Under the influence of the similar German term Zeiger (“indicator, hand of a clock”) it also has this meaning. Compounds have been made with sejar-, sejare-, sejer-, and seger-. For example, seger-hus (in the 1660s) means "clock case".
