Etymology

Uncertain. The starting palatilized consonant is irregular. Compare the pronoun particle ci (“(to) him/her/it/them”), for more. This term is certainly cognate with Neapolitan ce, Sassarese zi, and Italian ci (see this for more). All these share similar adverbial and pronominal senses, Sicilian does not.
