قلنسوة

Arabic

قَلَنْسُوَة

Alternative forms

• قُلَنْسِيَة (qulansiya)

Etymology

Of uncertain etymology, derived from a conflation of Aramaic קולסיתה and Aramaic קולנייא both forms of unknown origin with suggested connections to:

• Latin calautica (“coif”) in particular its Vulgar Latin calantica form
• possibly Ancient Greek κόρῠς (kórus, “helm, headgear”)
• seeming to be a Persian headdress in particular suggests such a source; perhaps ultimately from Middle Persian [script needed] (kwlʾp̄ /⁠kulāf, kulāv, kulāw⁠/, “cap, bonnet”) or Middle Persian [script needed] (kwlʾc /⁠kulāč⁠/, “bun, round bulb; hence a base to wrap a turban around”), cognate with Persian کلاه

Source of Hebrew קַלַנְסֻוָה (qalansuwā) borrowing.

Pronunciation
