Could be from a *ψάφμος (*psáphmos) (compare the pair γράφω (gráphō), γράμμα (grámma)), and thus perhaps related to ψαφαρός (psapharós, “powdery, sandy”), ψῆφος (psêphos, “pebble”), as well as Latin sabulum. Possibly from the same root as ψῆν (psên, “to rub, grate, scratch”), though the formal relationship, if there is one, is unknown. Onomatopoeia may be involved.",
