Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *šainan, *šeinan, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱoynom (from Proto-Indo-European *ḱoy-no- (hay), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱey- (color, usually gray)). Cognates include Lithuanian šiẽnas (hay) (regionally siẽnas), Old Church Slavonic сѣно (sěno, hay) (Russian се́но (séno), Ukrainian сі́но (síno), Bulgarian сено́ (senó), Czech seno, Polish siano), and possibly Ancient Greek κοινά (koiná, cattle food).[1]
