From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
From censt(ies) (“to try”) + -īgs. The standard stem for this verb has š (es cenšos, “I try”), but dialectally also t (es centos), which explains why there are derived forms with t, like centīgs, centība (“zeal”), and with s, like censonis (“striver, fighter, assiduous person”) or sacensība (“competition”) (and also, colloquially, censīgs, censība).[1]
