Etymology
From Proto-Italic *sēmitā, from Proto-Indo-European *swé(d) (“by oneself; away, without”) + *mey- (“change, exchange”) + *-téh₂. For *swé(d), compare sē-, sē, sed. For *mey-, compare meō. The LIV disagrees with De Vaan's reconstruction of *h₂mey- and prefers *mey-, though Beekes agrees with De Vaan. Compare trāmes.
