Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed from Classical Persian گناه (gunāh), from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (wnʾs /⁠wināh⁠/), 𐫇𐫏𐫗𐫀𐫍 (wynʾh /⁠wināh⁠/, sin, crime), ultimately from the Proto-Iranian preverb *vi- (from Proto-Indo-European *wi (apart, against)) and the root *nas- (to disappear; to perish), from Proto-Indo-European *neḱ- (to perish, to disappear). Akin to Old Armenian վնաս (vnas) (from Iranian), Old Georgian უნასი (unasi) (from Iranian), Baluchi [script needed] (gunās), Northern Kurdish binas (binās) and Sanskrit विनाश (vināśa). Doublet of বিনাশ (binaś).
