From seghiare, seghare, säyare, from, probably from 🇨🇬. Possibly related to French, Italian , and Late Latin. The balance in older tower clocks looked like the beam of a scale. Under the influence of the similar German term it also has this meaning.

Compounds have been made with sejar-, sejare-, sejer-, and seger-. For example, seger-hus (in the 1660s) means "clock case".
