Etymology 1
From Proto-Sinaitic 
. The association of "tooth" (see Proto-SemiticCategory:Phoenician terms derived from Proto-Semitic#𐤔 *šinn- (“tooth”)) with this letter was the result of folk etymology and its shape resembling a tooth. The letter originally depicted a composite bow, which usually has the tips curving away from the archer when unstrung.[1][2]
