Borrowed fromOld SaxonSahso(“a Saxon, a Low German”), a tribe/people inhabiting northern Germany (not to be confused with modernSaxony).

Ultimately fromProto-West Germanic*Sahsō. Cognate withEstonianSaksamaa(literally“Saxon land”).Doublet ofsaksa,sakset,saksi(“claw”),saksi(“Saxon”),Saksi,sax, andseax.
