Persian

Etymology 1

From Middle Persian 𐭢𐭥𐭦 (gōz, “walnut”), from unattested Old Persian *angauza, probably ultimately from Old Iranian *gauza- (“nut”), with the preverb *han-, from Proto-Iranian *gauz- (“to hide, conceal”) (compare Sanskrit गूहति (gū́hati, “to cover, conceal”)), referring to the fact that the edible nut is enclosed in a green outer fruit wall. See Old Armenian ընկոյզ (ənkoyz) for more.
