Etymology. From Indo-European root *sek- 'to follow, trace,' related to Sanskrit sākṣi 'witness' and English 'sake' (what one stands for); the concrete sense 'what one remembers or follows (of memory/truth)' develops into 'what is reliable, what stands firm as true.' The semantic shift from 'memory' to 'truth' reflects the Buddhist understanding that truth is what the mind reliably follows and witnesses.
