Italian

Etymology 1

From Latin sētā (“silk”), probably via unattested Late Latin *sētīnus (“silken [cloth]”).[1] Very frequently folk-etymologized to derive from Arabic زَيْتُون (zaytūn, “Zayton; olive”),[2] a calque of Quanzhou's former Chinese [Term?] nickname 刺桐城 (Cìtóngchéng, “Tung Tree City”), after the trees which had been extensively planted there in the 10th century by Liu Congxiao,[3] but the derivation is unsupported.[1]

Noun

setino m (plural setini)

  1. (obsolete) Alternative form of satin: satin.

Etymology 2

From Latin Sētīnus, from Sētia (“Sezze”) + -īnus (forming adjs.).
