Etymology[edit]
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.[1][2] The LIV disagrees with De Vaan's reconstruction of *h₂mey- and prefers *mey-,[3] though Beekes agrees with De Vaan.[4] Compare trāmes.
