Etymology

From Middle Persian (kndwg /⁠kandūg⁠/), whence Persian کندو (kandu, a large clay-vessel wherein grain can be stored; beehive), کندوج (kanduj, id.), کندوک (kanduk, capacious jar as for grain) for the semantic development of which compare Latin capistērium. Cognate to Parthian (kndwg /⁠kandūg⁠/), Ossetian хӕндуг (xændug), хӕндыг (xændyg, fence-structure to dry grain) and Classical Syriac ܟܱܢܕܘܩܳܐ (kandūqā, large grain-jar), Ancient Greek κόνδυ (kóndu, goblet), Old Armenian քանդուկ (kʻanduk, clayen grain bin), Chagatai (kündük, water-jug), Kipchak (kendük, flour-jar), Iranian borrowings. Apparently via extension from Akkadian 𒃶𒁺 (kandu), Aramaic כַּנְדָּא (kandā), כּדּא (kaddā), as also in rare Arabic كَدّ (kadd), from Old Tamil 𑀓𑀺𑀡𑁰𑀝𑀺 (kiṇṭi).
