Etymology
Borrowed from Ottoman Turkish صایا (saya, “serge”). Skok attempts to derive this from صایمق (saymak, “to count”) (modern saymak), but it is perhaps more probably a medieval Wanderwort with its origins in Latin sagum (“coarse red military cloak”): compare English saye (“fine cloth similar to serge”), Portuguese saia (“skirt”), Italian saia (“a kind of fabric”) from the same source.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /sǎja/
- Hyphenation: sa‧ja
Noun
sàja f (Cyrillic spelling са̀ја)
- a kind of fine red broadcloth or serge; saye
- (Vranje dialect) a kind of sleeveless woman’s dress that ends above the knee
