Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *h₁s-n̥t-íh₂, the feminine form of *h₁sónts (being, true), itself the present participle of *h₁es- (to be), from which the present tense forms of Germanic *wesaną also descend. The sense would have originally implied a verdict of "truly guilty" against an accusation or charge.
