Etymology

From Hokkien or Teochew. Its exact origins are unclear, possible etymologies include:

  • Hokkien (, “to pass away”), which may have been used as a hyperbole to describe someone who has passed out.
  • Hokkien 垂垂 (sê-sê, “(literary) to droop, to hang low”).
  • Clipping of Taiwanese Hokkien 馬西马西 (má-se, “tipsy”). This is unlikely, considering that it is not a term found in Singaporean Hokkien.
