Etimologie (Engels)

In summary

Central and Low German form which (since the 19th c.) has displaced the slightly earlier seimig (18th c.). Equivalent to archaic Seim (“viscous liquid”, especially “syrup, honey”) + -ig. The spelling with -ä- (instead of -e-) could represent West Central German dialects, but is more probably analogous with adjectives in -ig showing umlaut of -a-.
