Etymology

Borrowed from Arabic غَلْيُون (ḡalyūn, “smoking pipe”), then hypercorrecting the ending which colloquial Iranian Persian generally puts for trailing /ɒn/, with regard to the vulgar origin of the habit of tobacco smoking, which wrong deduction was also supported by reminiscence of Arabic غَلَيَان (ḡalayān, “boiling”).
