[edit]Etymology 3
[edit]From Old Norse sœma (“to honour, be content, beseem”), from Proto-Germanic *sōmijaną (“to fit”), cognate with Old English sēman (“to reconcile”) (English seem is borrowed from Old Norse). Derived form the adjective *sōmiz (“suitable”). The modern Danish reflexive construction may be influenced by the unrelated German sich ziemen.
