Persian

Etymology

May have been obtained by back-formation from جندره (jandara), if Morgenstierne is not right to deny this by reason that the suffix ـه (-a) has not been used in the sense of an instrument employed in handling the thing which the original word denotes; this could be otherwise if, as a consequence of that word’s Indian origin, the present word was considered an Arabism with the suffix ـَة (-a) or a form Iq verbal noun, although even with جَنْدَرَ (jandara, “to renew the figure of”) existing there wouldn’t likely be a noun of place of this form; or if another Iranian language did her part.

Noun

جندر • (jandar)

1. clothes
2. place to keep clothes or also other domestic implements
