Etymology

From Proto-Italic *sonts, from Proto-Indo-European *h?s-ónt-s, the present participle of *h?es- (whence also sum). Due to vowel reduction, it appears as -s?ns in compounded forms of sum. Thus "he who is it", "the real person", "the guilty one". Compare English sooth for an exact cognate, and sin for the same semantic development.
