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.
