sith
n.n. a very old word for a person who is a servant or a slave. You will only see this in very old books or stories.
n. a person who is a servant or a slave.
The sith served the king for many years.
In the old manuscript, the sith was described as a loyal attendant who never left his master's side.
The narrative portrays the sith as a figure of quiet endurance, whose life was defined by the rigid expectations of a hierarchical society that no longer exists today.
From Middle English sith (“journey, movement, lifetime, period, occasion”), from Old English sīþ (“journey, movement, trip, point in time, occasion”), from Proto-West Germanic sinþ, from Proto-Germanic sinþaz, from Proto-Indo-European *sent- (“to go, head”). Cognate with Faroese sinn (“time”), Gothic 𐍃𐌹𐌽𐌸𐍃 (sinþs, “path, movement”), Icelandic sinn (“time”). See also send.
Clipping of sithen; compare German seit (“since”).
