/ˈsɪnjuː//ˈsɪnjuː/The word "sinew" originated from the Old English term "synig," which was derived from the word "sino-," meaning "tendon" or "silvery," and the suffix "-ig," meaning "like" or "resembling." The term "synig" was used to refer to the fibrous tissue found in the body, which was believed to resemble the color and texture of a silver thread. Over time, the usage of the word "sinew" evolved, and it came to refer specifically to the tough, fibrous tissue found in the limbs of animals, including horses, oxen, and deer, which is attached to the bones and used to provide strength and support to the joints. This tissue, which is a type of collagenous connective tissue, is also known as tendon, but the term "sinew" is still used in certain contexts, particularly in traditional or folk-based vocabulary.
