Etymology

In summary

Disputed. Perhaps from Late Latin setula, diminutive of Latin sēta, saeta (“thick hair”) (compare Italian setola (“bristle”)), but the initial and the liquid would be irregular. Anders proposes a source in Vulgar Latin cirra (“lock, tuft of hair”), from Latin cirrus, influenced by saeta. Also compare Basque zerri (“pig”).
