Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Old French: soif

Geërf van Latyn: sitis

Verwante met Old French: noif

In summary

Inherited from Old French soif, from earlier seif, seit, from Latin sitis. The unetymological -f seems to have been inserted, following cases such as Old French noif (“snow”), possibly to avoid homophony with soit (“[may] it be”) and soi (“-self”).
