Etymology

Inherited from Classical Latin cēna, from Old Latin cesna, from Proto-Italic *kertsnā, from Proto-Indo-European *kért-sneh₂ (“portion”), derived from the root *(s)kert-, from *(s)ker- (“to cut off”). The irregular development of Latin ē into /ɛ/ is perhaps due to influence from the open stressed vowel of Logudorese chena.
