Etymology
The infinitive sien along with the words ies, sied and sie derive ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁es- ("to be"), which had no separate infinitive in Germanic. The modern infinitive was probably back-formed from sien ("we be"), since this form had become identical to the infinitive in other verbs. Compare German sein ("to be"), Dutch zijn ("to be"), Low German sien ("to be").
The original infinitive survives in weesen, from Proto-Germanic *wesaną ("to be"), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wes- ("to reside"). All the forms with initial w- derive from this root.
Finally, the forms been and bend derive from Proto-Germanic *beuną ("to be, to become"), from *bʰuH- ("to become"), which survives only as relic forms in the West Germanic languages and not at all in the others. Its infinitive and non-singular forms are only attested in (Old) English. Notes
