Brit.

/ˈsɑːtəm/,

/ˈsatəm/,

/ˈseɪtəm/, U.S.

/ˈsɑdəm/

Forms: 1800s– satem, 1900s– satəm.

Etymology: < German Satem, denoting a group of languages (see note; usually in compounds, especially Satemsprachen satem languages) < Avestan satəm hundred (see hund n.), chosen as an example of a word reflecting the distinctive phonological feature of this group of languages (see definition). Compare centum n.²The term is usually credited to P. von Bradke ( Über Methode u. Ergebnisse der arischen Alterthumswissenschaft (1890) i. iv. 63); the concept was apparently first developed by August Fick: see discussion at centum n.² The form satəm reflects the most common transliteration of the Avestan word.

Linguistics.

attributive. Designating a group of chiefly eastern Indo-European languages having sibilants (as in Avestan satəm) where cognate words in the western group have (voiceless) velar plosives; relating to or characteristic of this group. Contrasted with centum n.²It is disputed whether the centrum–satem division reflects a dialectal split in early Indo-European.
