I want to know the answer to the following question:
Where does the term Sayyid come from?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Although it is commonly believed locally that "Siddi" derives from a word meaning "black", the term is actually derived from "Sayyid", the title borne by the captains of the Arab vessels that first brought Siddi settlers to the area.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
