[edit]Etymology
[edit]
The solar system (sense 1.6)
Musical notation indicating a system (sense 1.3), which consists of a treble staff (top) and a bass staff linked by a brace (left)
The human digestive system (sense 1.4)
Partly borrowed from Middle French sisteme, systeme, partly directly from its etymon Late Latin systema ("harmony; musical scale; set of celestial objects; set of troops; system"), from Ancient Greek sustema (sustema, "musical scale; organized body; whole made of several parts or members"), from sunistemi (sunistemi, "to combine, organize") + -ma (-ma, resultative suffix). sunistemi is from sun- (sun-, "with, together") + istemi (histemi, "to stand"), from Proto-Indo-European *steh2- ("to stand (up)").[1]
Cognate with Dutch systeem, modern French systeme, German System, Italian sistema, Portuguese sistema, Spanish sistema. Doublet of systema.

- Every age has its characteristic, and our present one is not behind its predecessors in that respect; it is the age of systems, every system enforced by a treatise. The politician who opposes the corn-laws and advocates free trade, does so on a system, which, as soon as it begins to work, will set the civilized world to rights.

- Rosie's courage allowed her to engage with me quickly and soon provided reassurance to others in the system that I was safe and non-abusive. Soon after, a number of other alters made themselves known to me. [...] I was initially very worried that I would offend the system by missing when switches occurred, or even misidentify who was present with me.

Usage notes
[edit]Being a word borrowed from English derived from Greek, the y in system is pronounced /i, I/ rather than expected /@/. To preserve consistency between pronunciation and spelling, some prefer to spell this word sustem. Nevertheless, system is the more common spelling of the two. See pyramid/puramid, symbol/sumbol, synthesis/sunthesis for similar examples.
