Etymology
Borrowed from Classical Persian تنور (tanūr), from Middle Persian (tnwl /tanūr/, “oven”), ultimately from Akkadian 𒋾𒂟 (tinūru), all meaning (clay) oven. According to the Dehkhoda Dictionary, the Akkadian word consists of the parts *ṭīn meaning "mud" and *nuro／*nura meaning "fire" and is mentioned as early as in the Akkadian Epic of Gilgamesh. Compare also Avestan 𐬙𐬀𐬥𐬏𐬭𐬀 (tanūra) and Swahili tanuri.
