syev.¹

Forms: Old English sigan, Middle English siȝe, sihe, sie, Middle English seȝe, Middle English sye, (Middle English seige ?, Middle English syeȝe, cy(e, cygh, 3rd singular seis, 1800s dialect sigh). past tense Old English–Middle English sah, (Old English saag, sagh, plural sigon), Middle English sæh, Middle English seh, soh, Middle English sey; β. Middle English seit, seyt, seyit. past participle Old English sigen, Middle English isiȝe(n, isihen, Middle English seȝen.

Etymology: Old English sígan, past tense sáh (older saag), sigon, past participle sigen, = Middle Low German, Middle Dutch sigen, past tense seeg, seech, seghen, past participle gesehen to sink (Dutch zijgen intransitive to sink down, droop), Old High German sîgan, past tense sêg, sigen, past participle sigen to fall, fall in drops (Middle High German sîgen, German seigen to strain), Old Norse síga to sink gently down, glide, move slowly, past tense seig, sé, sigum, past participle siginn (Middle Danish sighe, sige weak). The original meaning was probably ‘to fall in drops’; compare the related forms Latin siat makes water (= *sijat < *sigat ), Old High German seihhen to make water, Old Norse sík , síki ditch, trench, and Sanskrit siñcáti , sḗcate pours out, Old Church Slavonic sĭcati to make water, and sye v.², the forms of which in English and the cognate languages are often indistinguishable from those of this verb.

Obsolete exc. dialect.

1. intransitive. To sink, fall, descend (literal and figurative); to collapse.

Middle English seit, seyt, seyit. past participle Old English sigen, Middle English isiȝe(n, isihen, Middle English seȝen. Etymology: Old English sígan, past tense sáh (older saag), sigon, past participle sigen, = Middle Low German, Middle Dutch sigen, past tense seeg, seech, seghen, past participle gesehen to sink (Dutch zijgen intransitive to sink down, droop), Old High German sîgan, past tense sêg, sigen, past participle sigen to fall, fall in drops (Middle High German sîgen, German seigen to strain), Old Norse síga to sink gently down, glide, move slowly, past tense seig, sé, sigum, past participle siginn (Middle Danish sighe, sige weak). The original meaning was probably ‘to fall in drops’; compare the related forms Latin siat makes water (= sijat < sigat ), Old High German seihhen to make water, Old Norse sík , síki ditch, trench, and Sanskrit siñcáti , sḗcate pours out, Old Church Slavonic sĭcati to make water, and sye v.², the forms of which in English and the cognate languages are often indistinguishable from those of this verb.
