[edit]Etymology
[edit]Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *sámh₂-dʰ- (compare Ancient Greek ἄμαθος (ámathos), ψάμμος (psámmos)) with a diminutive suffix -ulum, from the root *sem(h₂)- (“to pour”) (compare dialectal English samel (“sand bottom”), Old Irish do·essim (“to pour out”), Latin sentina (“bilge water”), Lithuanian sémti (“to scoop”)). However, this etymology is fraught with problems.
