Proto-Germanic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Indo-European *h₁s-ónt-s (“being, existing”), the present participle of *h₁es- (“to be”) (from which the present forms of *wesaną). Particularly close cognates semantically include Hittite [script needed] (ašant-, “true, real”), Sanskrit सन्त् (sánt, “being, real, good”), Latin sōns (“guilty”).[1] Compare also *sundī (“guilt, misdeed”), an abstract noun derived from *h₁sóntih₂, genitive *h₁sn̥tyéh₂s, the feminine form of the participle.
