The origin is unknown.

De Lagarde compares to Avestan 𐬚𐬀𐬧𐬘- (θaṇj-, to pull, draw), which is from Proto-Iranian *θanǰáyati (to pull), whence also Middle Persian (sancyt /⁠sanǰed⁠/, to weigh), Persian سنجیدن (sanjidan, to weigh).

J̌ahukyan remarks that inheritance from Proto-Indo-European *ḱenk- (to hang) is unlikely.
