See

See
See Sm std. (8. Jh.), mhd. , ahd. sē(o), as. sēo, sēu Stammwort. Aus g. * saiwi- m. "See", auch "Meer", auch in gt. saiws, anord. sær, sjór, sjár, ae. m./f., afr. . Herkunft unklar. Vielleicht als * saigwi- zu seihen, doch ist ein klares Benennungsmotiv nicht erkennbar (das Zusammengetröpfelte, die Lache ?). Sekundär tritt im Englischen und Deutschen auch ein Femininum auf, worauf im Deutschen (seit dem 16. Jh.) die Differenzierung der Bedeutungen in "Meer" f. und "See" m. durchgeführt wird. Nach Sausverde Substratwort.
   Ebenso nndl. zee, ne. sea, nschw. sjö, nisl. sjór; Schauerleute.
