Etymology 1
From Middle English spoon, spoune, spone, spon (“spoon, chip of wood”), from Old English sp?n (“sliver, chip of wood, shaving”), from Proto-Germanic *sp?nuz (“chip, flake, shaving”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)peh?- (“chip, shaving, log, length of wood”).
Cognate with Scots spun, spon (“spoon, shingle”), West Frisian spoen, Dutch spaan (“chip, flinders”), German Span (“chip, flake, shaving”), Faroese spónur (“wood chip; spoon”), Ancient Greek ???? (sph?n, “wedge”). Eclipsed non-native Middle English cuculer and coclear (“spoon”) both ultimately borrowed from the Latin.
The "unit of energy" semse was coined by writer, speaker and lupus patient advocate Christine Miserandino in 2003.
