"etymology_text": "Said conventionally to be from Ancient Greek σειρᾱ́ (seirā́, “cord, rope; chain”), surely partially for some semantic influence and plurals borrowed from dative plural σειραῖς (seiraîs) and accusative plural σειρᾱ́ς (seirā́s) true, although original Aramaic and Iranian origin is also constructible, see Arabic سَيْر (sayr, “strap”).\nCAL groups the sense “construction dust” with better-known Judaeo-Aramaic סׅירָא (sīrā, “thorn”). We don’t know if and how this adds up. “Fine dust” may also come from the idea of a “fine web” or “mesh”. In Robert Payne Smith this is pulvis tenuis next to aranea tenuis, تُرَاب (turāb) and خَيْط الْعَنْكَبُوت (ḵayṭ al-ʕankabūt).\nThe sense of a “siren” is back-formed from ܣܼܝܪܹܼܝܢ (sīrīn) from Ancient Greek Σειρήν (Seirḗn) understood as absolute state plural, then formally combined with the “rope” word as both being things that draw someone in.\nThe ichthyonym is kind of obscure, occurring instead emphatic in Jewish Palestinian Aramaic and Jewish Babylonian Aramaic as צִיר (ṣīr, “the own juice wherein fish is conserved; fish brine”) and from this in Arabic صِير (ṣīr). Even the sense of a “strap” has both emphaticities in Arabic, سَيْر (sayr) and صَيْر (ṣayr), supposedly from Aramaic, so one may imagine that the term originally referred to a whole “line” or lure of fish gathered and conceptualized collectively due to the small size of its phenotype.\nAs we reach the “end” of a fishing line, note also Old Armenian ծայր (cayr, “end; edge”), Old Armenian սայր (sayr, “edge”) and Old Georgian წუერი (c̣ueri, “top; point”).",
