EtymologyEdit

From Proto-Finnic *sima, possibly borrowed from Proto-Germanic *saimaz (compare German Seim (“syrup”), Old Norse seimr (“honeycomb”)). The original meaning was “mead”, but the common meaning now refers to a different beverage, albeit one that is ultimately developed from mead.

PronunciationEdit

  • IPA(key): /ˈsimɑ/, [ˈs̠imɑ]
  • Rhymes: -imɑ
  • Syllabification: si‧ma

NounEdit

sima

  1. a nonalcoholic or low-alcohol drink made from lemon, various sugars and water, common around vappu (May Day)
  2. (dated) mead
