سنط

Arabic
سَنْط

Etymology

Perhaps through Coptic ϣⲟⲛϯ (šonti), ultimately from Egyptian snḏt (/⁠ˈsantʼə/ < earlier /ˈsantʃʼat⁠/, “being feared, being respected, evoking reverence or respect; acacia”) stemming from its religious significance. Compare Akkadian 𒊭𒄠𒂅 (/⁠šamṭu, samṭu⁠/, “acacia”), a foreign loan suspected to be borrowed from the same Egyptian.
