Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Indo-Aryan *śíśHuṣ, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćíćHuš, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱiḱh₁-ú-s, a derivative of *ḱewh₁- (“to swell, to be strong”). Compare also शाव (śāva), with the same meaning and origin; perhaps the sense of "strength" later changed to mean "growth", and even later to mean the "young" (since they continue to grow to maturity).
