Claim: The English word SIR is an acronym for 'Slave I remain'.
Fact-check: 'Slave I Remain' is not the full form of the word sir; Sir originated from an old french word, Sire - FACTLY
Verdict: according to etymonline.com, a website that describes the origins of english words, the word sir originated from the old french word sire. sire was placed before a name to denote knighthood. sire originated from the latin word senior, which means older or elder. it says that the word is not an acronym. hence the claim made in the post is false.
