پنگان

See also: پنكان

Persian

Etymology

Presumed to be borrowed, alongside Ossetian фынг (fyng), фингӕ (fingæ, “table”), from Ancient Greek πίναξ (pínax), πίνακος (pínakos, “wooden plank, dish, writing table”), possibly via Classical Syriac ܦܝܢܟܐ (pinkā). Perhaps cognate with Sanskrit पिनाक (pínāka, “staff, stick”). Whereas according to Vinson this is all from a compound of Middle Chinese, Mandarin 瓫 (pén, “flat dish”)) and 盎 (àng, “wide-bellied bowl”) (perhaps instead 銀／银 (yín, “silver”), 案 (àn, “desk, table”)?), however not attested, so alternatively he suggests 平安 (píng'ān, “tranquil, safe”) printed onto Chinese household appliances like vases.
