Etymology

edit

Borrowed from Ottoman Turkish صایا (saya, “serge”). Skok attempts to derive this from صایمق (saymak, “to count”) (modern saymak), but it is perhaps more probably a medieval Wanderwort with its origins in Latin sagum (“coarse red military cloak”): compare English saye (“fine cloth similar to serge”), Portuguese saia (“skirt”), Italian saia (“a kind of fabric”) from the same source.

Pronunciation

edit
  • IPA(key): /sǎja/
  • Hyphenation: sa‧ja

Noun

edit

sàja f (Cyrillic spelling са̀ја)

  1. a kind of fine red broadcloth or serge; saye
  2. (Vranje dialect) a kind of sleeveless woman’s dress that ends above the knee
