    [Noun]  | "sci*on" | \ ˈsī-ən \


    1: descendant, child; especially : a descendant of a wealthy, aristocratic, or influential family

    2: heir

    3: a detached living portion of a plant (such as a bud or shoot) joined to a stock in grafting and usually supplying solely aerial parts to a graft


    Origin: 14th century ;

     Middle English sioun, syon "branch, twig, offshoot," borrowed from Anglo-French cioun, ciun, sioun (continental Old French cion "offspring, new growth of a plant") from ci-, going back to an Old Low Franconian outcome of West Germanic *kīþa- "sprout, bud" + Old French -on, suffix, perhaps here with diminutive value, going back to Latin -ōn-, -ō, suffix of nouns denoting persons with a prominent feature; *kīþa- "sprout, bud" (whence also Old English cīþ "sprout, shoot, bud," Old Saxon kīth "shoot," Old High German kīd, also -kīdi in frumikīdi "first one"), going back to Indo-European *ǵei̯H-ti- or *ǵiH-ti-, noun derivative of a verbal base *ǵei̯H- "burst out, sprout," whence, from a nasal present, Germanic *kīnan- (whence Old English cīnan "to burst open, gape, [of skin] be chapped," Old Saxon kīnan "to sprout," Old High German chīnan "to sprout, germinate," Swedish dialect kina "to yawn," Gothic keinan "to sprout," uskeinan "to put forth, send out [growth]," with past participle uskijanata lacking -n-); whence also, with suffixed *-dh-, Latvian ziêdu, ziêdêt "to bloom," Lithuanian žydė́ti;

      * Note : The Anglo-French forms are taken from the Oxford English Dictionary, third edition, though their source is unspecified; the Anglo-Norman Dictionary lacks an entry for this word. The suffix should perhaps be taken as filling out a word that otherwise has little phonetic substance. — Another generally cited nominal derivative of the Germanic verb is represented by Old English cine, cinu (weak feminine noun) "chink, fissure" (compare {chink:1|chink:1}), Middle Dutch kēne "cleft, crack." Armenian cil "stem, bud, top of a crop plant" has also been adduced, though Martirosyan (Etymological Dictionary of the Armenian Inherited Lexicon, Brill, 2009) believes that "I[ndo-]E[uropean] proposals are not convincing.";

    1: Scion is a Toyota automobile brand meant to appeal to young, naive buyers. Scions are econo boxes with a huge emphasis on the word "box." The typical Scion automobile is boxy, unimaginative, boring, and front-wheel drive. Being front-wheel drive, they are cheap to manufacture and performance is lousy. Because Scions tend to literally be boxes on wheels, development costs are also very low. No high-paid mechanical engineers, automotive designers, or expensive CAD software is needed. With a price comparable to competing automobiles, Scion's profit margin is very high thanks to its low production costs.

      * e.g.,  ... Dude, check out that Scion! When did Frigidaire start making cars?! 

     [ "scion" ]

    1: The Scion TC is NOT to be confused with the other scion- Scion Xb. Scion Xb is the huge box on wheels that people are dissing and Sion Xa is the hatchback that reminds you of a stationwagon, but Scion TC is a sexy car for a good price. Sexier than those stupid, ugly played out honda civics you see most asians gangsters having. lol

      * e.g.,  ... my scion TC is shiny, sexy, and silver.

    1: Over a decade ago, Toyota revolutionized the American luxury car world with the introduction of the Lexus line. In the early 90s, the economy was booming and luxury cars were once again a hit. Toyota succeeded with the Lexus, and it remains to this day the top selling luxury car in the United States.

      * e.g.,  ... I had a Scion infront of me. A Pontiac Aztek to my right. A PT Cruiser to my left. And a Honda Element behind me. If I had one, I'd set off my car bomb and sacrifice my life to remove these hideous cars from the road.

    3: Each big company has it's own hideous car. The infamous Honda Element (wannabe hummer), the Volkswagen Golf (Ricers seem to be all over this one now), the Pontiac Aztek (Anyone who pays money for that needs to have their heart ripped out on an altar, Aztec style), the PT Cruiser (You'll cruise right by any hopes of getting poontang in that one), and last and certainly least, the Chevy Avalanche (If you get in a collision, the rubber will make the other car bounce off you).

    1: Produced by Toyota, this box on wheels is similar to the Honda Element and is targeted at the youth. It features an ugly front end, underpowered engine (hence mediocre acceleration), a non-slanted front windshield (i.e. 90 degree angled), and a higher roof (good for tall people I suppose). Fuel economy is a plus, but not worth $20k.
