Etymology
From the verb, earlier meaning “to clean” (q.v.), of which it was originally the past participle; this verb, in turn, comes from , from , from , , , possibly from a kʷʰ-initial phonological variant of with an extra d (the initial s being probably an s-mobile); the meaning evolved from “clear” to “liquid” (via “clean”). Some researchers suggest a different source: 🇨🇬, with an extra -d; in this case, the semantic evolution would have been “to cut, to split” > “to move quickly in all directions” > “to splash” > “to be (like) a liquid” (whence “clear, clean”). Cognates include 🇨🇬 (of liquids), 🇨🇬 (accusative), 🇨🇬 (🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬).
