sin (
n.)
O.E. synn "
moral wrongdoing, offense against God, misdeed," from
P.Gmc. *sundjo (
Cf. O.S. sundia,
O.Fris. sende,
M.Du. sonde,
Ger. Sünde "
sin, transgression, trespass, offense"), probably ultimately "
true" (
Cf. Goth. sonjis,
O.N. sannr "
true"), from
PIE *es-ont-,
prp. of
root *es- "
to be" (see
IS (
Cf. is)). The semantic development is via notion of "
to be truly the one (who is guilty)," as in
O.N. phrase
verð sannr at "
be found guilty of," and the use of the phrase "
it is being" in Hittite confessional formula. The same process probably yielded the Latin word
sons (
gen. sontis) "
guilty, criminal" from
prp. of
sum, esse "
to be, that which is." Some etymologists believe the Germanic word was an early borrowing directly from the Latin genitive.
Sin-eater is attested from 1680s. To
live in sin "
cohabit without marriage" is from 1838. Ice hockey slang
sin bin "
penalty box" is attested from 1950.
{{12}}sin (v.) O.E. syngian "to commit sin," from synn (see SIN (Cf. sin) (n.)). Cf. Du. zondigen, Ger. sündigen. Form alt. from M.E. sunigen by influence of the noun.
