سنديان

See also: سندیان

Arabic

سِنْدِيَان

Etymology

Semantically from Aramaic סדיין (seḏyān, “type of oak”), cognates with Classical Syriac ܣܕܝܢܐ (seḏyānā), Akkadian 𒄑𒋛𒅔𒁕𒀀 (sindu, “a tree”); from the Semitic root س ن د (s-n-d) meaning “to stay”, “to prop up”, “to set up pieces of wood for reinforcement”. Connected to the wood’s common use in construction and sturdiness; compare סדנא (saddān, “foundation; the trunk or base of a tree”), Hebrew סַד (sad, “torture stocks; a place for securing prisoners”). Uncertain connections to Persian سندیان (sindiyân, “type of oak”), perhaps related to Middle Persian cytn' (cidān, “to gather, to pile up”) as in the collecting of wood.
