• Traditionally derived from Proto-Celtic *sekʷos (“besides, without”), from Proto-Indo-European *sekʷ-o-s (“following”) (compare Latin secus (“along”) and Sanskrit सचा (sácā, “with”)), from *sekʷ- (“to follow”).^[1][2]
• This is disputed by Klingenschmitt, who proposes Proto-Indo-European *se-ḱwo-s (“separate, by itself”), from *swé.^[3][4]
• Or from *sek- (“to cut”).^[1]

In any case cognate with Welsh heb (“without”).
