Etymology

From Ancient Greek σανδαράκινος (sandarákinos, orange-coloured, sandarac-like) or another masculine formation from σανδᾰράκη (sandarákē, sandarac, realgar), compare خَنْدَرُوس (ḵandarūs) from χόνδρος (khóndros, spelt; groats; lump, grumous mass) and دَنْدَرُوس (dandarūs) from δενδροειδής (dendroeidḗs, tree-like).

The Classical Syriac form ܣܢܕܪܘܣ is found in Bar Bahlul and Bar Ali, while Jewish Babylonian Aramaic סַנְדּרוֹס (sandarōs) is found in the Ḥalaḵōt Gedōlōṯ and Mishnaic Hebrew סַנְדּרוֹס (sandarōs) in the Book of Assaf; the Arabic term can well be considered an Aramaic loan hence, considering also that these lects thereof liked to add a reflex of -ος (-os) even when it was never there, e.g. the descendants of σίγνον (sígnon).
