Etymology
Semn descends from the Latin noun signum, meaning mark, token, or standard. Latin signum passed into most Romance languages with the same core sense of a visible mark that points to something else. The deeper origin of Latin signum itself is disputed among scholars, so no single Indo-European root can be stated with confidence.
