Etymology

Perhaps from Lua error in Module:affix/templates at line 130: The |lang= parameter is not used by this template. Place the language code in parameter 1 instead..[1] In this proposal, the combined form would have had to undergo non-initial vowel reduction, giving *sēmeāta > *sēmiāta > sēmita. The vowel coalescence of -iā- > -i- as opposed to -ī-, however, is not entirely convincing.

Other sources have attempted to derive sēmita from Lua error in Module:affix/templates at line 130: The |lang= parameter is not used by this template. Place the language code in parameter 1 instead. with the meaning of “half a path”. [2]
