Etymology 1

From Middle Persian (dyn' /⁠dēn⁠/), from Old Persian 𐎭𐎠𐎡𐎴 (d-a-i-n /⁠*daina-⁠/, a religious-informed or conscientious way of life), already influenced by Avestan 𐬛𐬀𐬉𐬥𐬁 (daēnā, religion, vision), ultimately from Proto-Indo-Iranian *dʰayHanā- (compare Sanskrit ध्यान (dhyāna)), and Semitic words, see Arabic دِين (dīn), from which the broken plural ادیان (adyân) is borrowed.
