Etymology

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Not mentioned by Ratliff at all. Doesn't seem to bear resemblance to any other words for "apron" in the linguistic area; the closest thing might be Chinese (, “silk; thread”) (is siv (belt, sash) connected to these terms?)

The "wife" sense is almost certainly a metonymic semantic extension of the "apron" meaning.”
