Siddin.adj.

/ˈsiːdi/, U.S.

/ˈsidi/

Forms:

α. 1600s Syddy, 1600s–1700s Siddy, 1600s– Siddee (now historical), 1700s– Siddi, 1800s Seddee, 1800s Sidhi, 1800s– Siddhee (now historical).

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from Arabic. Probably also partly a borrowing from Marathi. Probably also partly a borrowing from Urdu. Etymons: Arabic sayyidī; Marathi siddhī; Urdu sīdī.

Etymology: Apparently ultimately < Arabic sayyidī my lord < sayyid sayyid n. + -ī , 1st person singular possessive suffix (compare colloquial Arabic (chiefly Maghribi and Egyptian) sīd , variant of sayyid : see Cid n.), probably via colloquial pronunciations of the Arabic word borrowed into Indian (and perhaps also European) languages, especially (compare α. forms) Marathi siddhī, śiddhī, śiddī (perhaps influenced by Sanskrit siddhi perfection: see siddhi n.), and (compare β. forms) Urdu sīdī, colloquial pronunciation of saiyidī, form of address used for African Muslims, African person ( < Arabic).The following earlier examples apparently reflect the same (ultimately Arabic) word, used as a title or denoting the holders of various offices:1615 W. Bedwell Arabian Trudgman in tr. Mohammedis Imposturæ sig. N3 Seedi, a name or title of honour, yet attributed vnto meane persons..Seeda... The same that Seedi is, onely differing in gender.c1680 T. Bowrey Geogr. Acct. Countries Bay of Bengal (1905) 314 He was by the Siddy or Bishop of Achin freed from the death his consorts died.1696 J. Ovington Voy. Suratt 151 The Mogul attempts the sending a Land-Army upon Bombay, whose Siddy or General..immediately prepares to land his Men upon the Island. A similar form of the Arabic word is also attested early in English contexts as a personal title (e.g. in the names of Siddy Hamet Allilash (1637) and Cidy Hader Gayland (1666), both in Morocco).

A. n.

A member of an ethnic group of African origin living in South Asia, chiefly in western India and southern Pakistan. Cf. Kaffir n. 3.Although many African Muslims in India held high positions under the kings of the Deccan, the majority of the early Siddis were slaves brought from south-eastern Africa by Arab and Portuguese merchants, and were employed in shipping in the ports of western India. Most became Muslim, with small numbers of Hindus and Roman Catholics existing in the present population.
