Etymology 1

The traditional account[1] holds that its form is the outline of an incisor, 齒形 (it is the shape of the four teeth in the Chinese pictographic character for incisor, 齒).

Gari Ledyard proposes that ㅅ (s, “s”) was derived from ㅈ (j, “j”) by removing the top stroke.

Letter

ㅅ • (s)

  1. 시옷 (siot, “siot”), a jamo (letter) of the alphabet of the Korean writing system, hangeul; the sibilant phoneme (/s/)
Usage notes

In the North Korean order, ㅅ (s, “s”) is the seventh jamo, and in the South Korean order the tenth.

Derived terms
  • ㅈ (j, “j”) (in traditional account)
  • ㅊ (ch, “ch”)
Coordinate terms
  • ㄷ (d, “d”), ㄴ (n, “n”)

Etymology 2

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Interesting similarity in form and function to the genitive in the Germanic languages, the third and fourth noun classes in Latin, and the long-vowel stems in Sanskrit, among others. Are there any respectable linguistic theories mentioning a possible PIE connection? Or is this just coincidence? Also, likely cognate with the rare and ancient -s- genitive infix in Japanese, as in 春雨 (harusame).”

From Middle Korean *ㅅ (*s, “'s, of”), from Old Korean *叱 (“'s, of”).

Interfix

ㅅ • (-s-)

  1. The sai-siot (사이시옷), genitive marker sometimes placed between a vowel-final syllable of the first constituent and a syllable of the second constituent when forming compounds.
    햇빛 (haetbit, “sunlight”) - from 해 (hae, “sun”) + ㅅ + 빛 (bit, “light”)
    고춧가루 (gochutgaru, “chili pepper flakes”) - from 고추 (gochu, “chili pepper”) + ㅅ + 가루 (garu, “powder, flour”)
    어젯밤 (eojetbam, “last night”) - from 어제 (eoje, “yesterday”) + ㅅ + 밤 (bam, “night”)
    나뭇잎 (namunnip, “tree leaf”) - from 나무 (namu, “tree”) + ㅅ + 잎 (ip, “leaf”)
