شێت
From Aramaic שידא (šēḏā) or Classical Syriac ܫܐܕܐ (šēḏā, “demon”), whence Middle Persian [script needed] (šēdā, “bliss”) and Persian شیدا (šeydâ). Ultimately from Akkadian 𒀭𒆘 (šēdum, “a protective deity”). For the semantic shift, compare Arabic مَجْنُون (majnūn, “mad, crazy, insane”), which is from جِنّ (jinn, “demon”).
