Etymology

From Vulgar Latin *sennus, of Germanic origin (whence also Old French sen, san (“mind, sense, direction”), Occitan sen, Catalan seny, Spanish sien), from Frankish *sinn (“sense, mental faculty, way, direction”), from Proto-Indo-European *sent- (“to go”). Akin to Old High German sinn (“mind, sense, judgment”), Old English sinnan (“to mind, meditate on, consider”), Old English sīþ (“journey”). More at sense, send.
