Finnish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from Old Saxon Sahso (“a Saxon, a Low German”), a tribe/people inhabiting northern Germany (not to be confused with modern Saxony). Germans in general were identified with (Old) Saxons because contact with the German-speaking countries happened at first mainly via the Baltic Sea with people speaking Low German. Ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *sahsō. Cognate with Estonian Saksamaa (literally “Saxon land”). Doublet of saksa, sakset, saksi (“claw”), saksi (“Saxon”), Saksi, sax, and seax.
