siskinn.

Brit.

/ˈsɪskɪn/, U.S.

/ˈsɪskᵻn/

Forms: 1500s syskennes (plural), 1500s– siskin, 1600s sisken.

Origin: Probably a borrowing from Dutch. Etymon: Dutch sijsken.

Etymology: Probably < early modern Dutch sijsken, variant of cijsken (Middle Dutch (in late sources) cysken, sīseken; Dutch (with suffix substitution) sijsje), which is in turn < Middle Low German sīsek, zīseke (compare German regional (Central) Sisschen, Zeischen), related to Middle High German zīsec, zīsic (German Zeisig), ultimately showing a borrowing < a West Slavonic language; compare Czech čížík, (now usually) čížek, Polish czyżyk, Upper Sorbian čižik, Lower Sorbian cyžyk < the Slavonic base of Czech číž, Polish czyż, Upper Sorbian čiž, Lower Sorbian cyž, probably ultimately imitative of the bird's call + the Slavonic base of Czech -ík, Polish -yk, Upper Sorbian -ik, Lower Sorbian -yk, suffix forming diminutives.A name of the bird in a West Slavonic language without the diminutive suffix was also borrowed into German at an early date as Middle High German zīs, zīse (early modern German zeis, zeise), whence probably Middle Low German czitze. The Middle Low German name of the bird with diminutive suffix was also borrowed into Scandinavian languages; compare Old Swedish sīseka (Swedish siska), Old Danish sīsik, sīseke, sīseken (Danish sisgen).

1. A small Eurasian finch, Spinus spinus, having greyish green plumage with black and yellow markings, sometimes kept as a caged songbird.Formerly placed with the goldfinch in the genus Carduelis.
