Etymology

From Proto-Semitic *šinn- (tooth), the source of שן. The association of "tooth" with this letter was the result of folk etymology and based on the corresponding Phoenician letter, 𐤔 (š), having a shape resembling a row of pointed teeth. The letter originally depicted a composite bow, which usually has the tips curving away from the archer when unstrung.[1][2]

Related to Classical Syriac ܫ, Арапски ش (š), Phoenician 𐤔 (š), Арамејски ܫ. More at Shin.
