كنيسة
See also: کنیسه
Arabic
Etymology
From the root ك ن س (k-n-s), meaning to sweep together, to congregate. Compare the Hebrew root כ־נ־ס (k-n-s), hence Hebrew כְּנֶסֶת (k'néset). But apparently the Arabic sense of synagogue is a semantic loan from Aramaic כְּנִישְׁתָּא (kənīštā), כְּנִישָׁא (kənīšā) from the root כ־נ־שׁ (k-n-š), the Christian sense was added to this later.
