From Latin sētā (silk), probably via unattested Late Latin *sētīnus (silken [cloth]).[1] Very frequently folk-etymologized to derive from Arabic زَيْتُون (zaytūn, Zayton; olive),[2] a calque of Quanzhou's former Chinese nickname 刺桐城 (Cìtóngchéng, Tung Tree City), after the trees which had been extensively planted there in the 10th century by Liu Congxiao,[3] but the derivation is unsupported.[1]
