Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: seven adj., sithe n.1
Etymology: < seven adj. + the dative (or genitive) plural of sithe n.1 Compare Old Icelandic sjau sinnum.In Old English usually with dative plural of the second element (seofonsiðum ), occasionally with genitive plural (Northumbrian seofosiða ). With the forms of the second element in Middle English compare discussion at sithe n.1 Often written as two words. (Word division in Old English and Middle English examples frequently reflects editorial choices of modern editors of texts, rather than the practice of the manuscripts.)
