The 3rd and 4th meanings appear to be rare and extremely rare, respectively. The Webster or Collins' don't given them, and Heritage doesn't give the last one: [1] [2] I'm not sure if this kind of this discussion is appropriate for Wiktionary article, or if it's more suitable for Wikipedia, which also has an article on this term (as a word).

It's perfectly suited. You could add {{rare}} and/or {{very|rare}}. See also {{rfv-sense}}. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:02, 13 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Missing sense?

[edit]

Chambers 1908 defines sis or sissy as "a girl, a sweetheart", deriving them from Cicely. Equinox 14:42, 14 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
