Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *séǵʰos (“the overpowering”), from root *seǵʰ- (“to hold, overpower”).[1] Cognate with Sanskrit सहस् (sáhas, “force, power, victory”),[2] as well as Ancient Greek ἔχω (ékhō, “I have, I own”). The alternate forms are a result of syncopation and subsequent re-analysis of the z-declension.
