Etymology 1

edit

From Old Median *ganǰam (treasure), a word spread by the Achaemenid administration, perhaps mediated already then by Imperial Aramaic 𐡂𐡍𐡆𐡀 (gnzʾ /⁠*ganzā⁠/, treasure).

Note: This etymology is contentious. Prima facie, the word is merely the verbal noun of the verb kanaza in the sense of "to bury (in the ground), treasure or hoard".
