▪ I. satin, n. (and a.)|ˈsætɪn|
Forms: 4–5 satyne, -ine, 4–6 satyn, sat(t)on, 5 sathan, 5–6 saten, sateyn, 5–7 sattyn, 5–8 satten, 6 satte(i)ne, sat(t)an, satyng, Sc. saiting, satteing, salting, 6–8 sattin(e, 6– satin.
[a. F. satin (14th c. in Hatz.-Darm.; the supposed popular OF. form saïn, cited by Diez, is an error), app. ad. It. † setino, prob. repr. late L. *(pannus) sētīnus silken (cloth), f. sēta silk. Cf. Pg. setim (? from It.), late med.L. satinius, satinus (from Fr.), setīnus (1594, from Spain); also Du. satijn.
The word cannot be connected etymologically with the app. synonymous Arab. zaitūnī, f. Zaitūn name of a city in China (the locality of which is disputed). F. Hirth (Arch. Stud. neu. Spr. LXVII, 1882, p. 204) suggests that the Arabs may have confused the name of the town with the Cantonese sze-tün = Mandarin ssū-tuan, satin; but the conjecture that the Cantonese form is the source of It. setino is extremely improbable.]
