Etymology
In summary
From Middle High German sant, from Old High German sant, from Proto-West Germanic *sand, *samd, from Proto-Germanic *sandaz, *samdaz, from Proto-Indo-European *sámh₂dʰos. The forms with -n- are due to early assimilation. The more original form with -m- is attested in Middle High German sambt, sampt, which survives in some Bavarian dialects and in Yiddish זאַמד (zamd). Further cognate with Dutch zand, Low German Sand, English sand, Danish sand.
