Étymologie (Anglais)

Of uncertain origin. Possibly of North Germanic origin (compare Icelandic söggur (“moist”), dialectal Norwegian søgg (“moist”), dialectal Swedish sögg, sygg (“something moist”)), from Old Norse söggr (“dank, wet”), from Proto-Germanic *sawwijaz, a derivative of Proto-Germanic *sawwą (“moisture, sap, juice”), related to Old English ġesēaw (“full of moisture, soaked”), Old English sēaw (“moisture, juice, humour”). The verb is possibly related to soak.
