Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Indo-European *sámh₂dʰos (compare Ancient Greek ἄμαθος (ámathos), ψάμμος (psámmos)), from *sem- (“to pour”) (compare English dialectal samel (“sand bottom”), Old Irish do·essim (“to pour out”), Latin sentina (“bilge water”), Lithuanian sémti (“to scoop”)). The shift from the masculine gender to the neuter gender is unexplained.
