Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-riŋ ~ s-r(j)aŋ (“to live; to be alive; to give birth; raw; green”) (STEDT). May be an old dialect variant of 青あお (OC *sʰleːŋ, “green; blue”). Also cognate with 生せい (OC *sʰleːŋ, *sreŋs, “to live”), 性せい (OC *sleŋs, “nature”), 姓せい (OC *sleŋs, “surname”) (Schuessler, 2007).
