The etymon of this word
, are you sure was borrowed directly from ? If so, then this Finnish word must be quite an old borrowing (to give you an idea, itself was borrowed from the Dutch in the early 17th century). Otherwise, if the Finnish word be a recent loanword, then it is obviously straightway from the English. So could you please apprise me of the approximate age of the Finnish loanword, that its direct etymon may be determined. Thanks!
 * (a major Finnish etymological dictionary) does not have the word, which implies it's a more recent loanword (or at least one taken more recently into wider use), so it's unlikely to derived directly from Dutch and likely entered through English. &mdash; surjection &lang;?&rang; 15:47, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
