Etymology

Borrowed from Low German: -

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-.
