sew: sew: [OE] Sew comes, with its relatives Swedish sy and Danish sye, from a prehistoric Germanic *siwjan. This was descended from an Indo- European base *siw-, *sju- that also produced Latin suere ‘sew’ (source of English suture [16]), Greek humén ‘membrane’ (source of English hymen [17]), and English seam. It is no relation to sow.
