From Old Galician-Portuguese, from Vulgar Latin *sagium, from Latin sagum, cognate of Ancient Greek σάγος (ságos); probably from a pre-Roman substrate of Iberia (Apian wrote that the word was considered proper of the Celts of Iberia) and ultimately from Celtic.[1]

    • 1707, Salvador Francisco Roel, Entremés ao real e feliz parto da nosa raíña:
      Afonso:
      E como està o afillado?
      Christobo:
      Esse jà quer ir a Escola,
      pero porque non tèn sayo
      està decote na Eyra
      para escorrentar o Gando.

      How is doing my godchild?
      Christobo:
      He already want to go to school,
      but since he has no robe
      is all the time in the field
      for driving away the livestock.
    • 1820, Manuel Pardo de Andrade, Os servís e os liberás:
      Palurdos que vos vestides,
      Como eu, de sayo de lá,
      Polainas, zocos, monteira,
      E un bo baloco na man
      Rustics that wear,
      as myself, with a woolen robe,
      gaiters, clogs, cap
      and a good staff in hand
