Derived terms

Etymology 2

Of uncertain origin. Bailey derives the root from Proto-Indo-European *psen-, which he takes as a metathesis of Proto-Indo-European *spen-, and links with Ancient Greek σφήν (sphḗn), as well as with English spoon and spade.[3] Alternatively, from the same origin as Etymology 1.[4]
