[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: A resident of Scio, a town in Oregon, about 25 minutes away from Salem nestled away in a valley with lots of cover from prying eyes, and has earned a poor reputation as a result of the real and imagined events that happen there. This is the stereotypical Scion: animal-molester, tobacco chewer, meth maker/smoker, inbreeding hick, has a hot tub in their front yard, collects rusty cars and various metal goods, cuts hay in the summer, hates people from big cities or states, especially California, knowledgeable in the arts of chainsaw maintenance and deforestation (they mess up owl homes in fir trees), no respect for nature, and deep passion for anything black and orange (Oregon State Beavers and Stihl chainsaws). To them, orange and black is the sh*t. In school, the kids learn logging skills and horse around in the locker rooms. Kids have been known to spray Axe deodorant in the air (to get high) and rub feces on books. Scio has a great music program however. If you go to Scio, rent a rusty old truck as you drive through "downtown" so people mistake you for a local, and don't hurt your pets. Wear an orange and black shirt.
* e.g., ... Girl: "Where are we?"
Taxi Driver: "We're entering a sh*tty part of town. Roll your windows up and put your electronics away. Lots of inbred meth smoking hicks live here, so there's a lot of crime. OMG, don't look, but that man is molesting a sheep!"'
Girl: "This is just like Scio! I hate that damn place! Scions are so twisted!"

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?!
