Gothic
Etymology
From Latin S. Appears to have been a later Ostrogothic form influenced by Latin scriptoria, partially replacing the earlier "sigmoid" Gothic S (which however was still somewhat rarely used even in Ostrogothic manuscripts, concurrently with the Latin-type S). This sigmoid S resembled and is thought to have derived from Ancient Greek Σ (S). (Some have considered the earlier sigmoid S to be derived from the ᛊ rune instead.)
