A Greek Letter that looks like this: 'Σ' uppercase, 'σ' lowercase, 'ς' lowercase, used if at the end of a word
The Latin letter S came from Sigma and into English,
The symbol was then used in math, astrology, and chemistry,
... And then it was a word used by a bunch of 5 to 12-year-old cringy kids on YouTube, TikTok, and other platforms who think they are cool by just over repeating a meme to describe other 'good people'.

Wikipedia definition:
Sigma (/ˈsɪɡmə/ SIG-mə;1 uppercase Σ, lowercase σ, lowercase in word-final position ς; Greek: σίγμα) is the eighteenth letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals, it has a value of 200. In general mathematics, uppercase Σ is used as an operator for summation. When used at the end of a letter-case word (one that does not use all caps), the final form (ς) is used. In Ὀδυσσεύς (Odysseus), for example, the two lowercase sigmas (σ) in the center of the name are distinct from the word-final sigma (ς) at the end. The Latin letter S derives from sigma while the Cyrillic letter Es derives from a lunate form of this letter.
Now the definition you've been waiting for:
Sigma has been coined as a term for the strongest male in a group.
What the sigma? Some know “sigma” as the 18th letter of the Greek alphabet but it's also teen slang for a cool dude. According to Know Your Meme, sigma is “referring to a supposed classification for men who are successful and popular, but also silent and rebellious.”
A sigma male is also the role after alpha male, which refers to a chad, while this one refers to sigma.
