Etymology
The word is the relational adjective of سِياسة (siyāsa), meaning "politics" or "governance." That noun comes from the Semitic root س-و-س, whose core sense is to manage, tend, or govern, originally used for tending horses. The final ـِيّ is the nisba suffix, which turns a noun into an adjective of relation.
