سنط

Arabic
سَنْط

Etymology

Likely through Coptic, ultimately from Egyptian snḏt (/shondjt, shont, shonnet, shondj, shondet/, “being feared, being respected, evoking reverence or respect; acacia”) stemming from its religious significance. Compare Akkadian 𒊭𒄠𒂅 (/šamṭu, samṭu/, “acacia”), a foreign loan suspected to be borrowed from the same Egyptian.
