/ˈsɪsi/, U.S.

Inflections: Plural sisis, unchanged.

Forms:

α. 1800s jiggee.

β. 1800s– sisi.

Etymology: < Tongan sisi skirt worn chiefly for dancing.The Tongan word is unrelated to sī palm of the genus Cordyline (cognate with Maori tī ti n.²). The difference between α. and β. forms reflects a phonological change in Tongan, where alveolar affricates changed to sibilants towards the end of the 19th cent.
