- c. 1400, from Old French fissure (13c.) and directly from Latin fissura "a cleft," from root of findere "to split, cleave, separate, divide," from PIE *bhi-n-d-, from root *bheid- "to split" (cognates: Sanskrit bhinadmi "I cleave," Old High German bizzan "to bite," Old English
bita "a piece bitten off, morsel," Old Norse beita "to
hunt with dogs," beita "pasture, food").
