منديل
See also: مندیل
Arabic edit
Etymology edit
Borrowed from Byzantine Greek μανδίλιον (mandílion), μαντίλιον (mantílion), or μανδήλη (mandḗlē, “cloth, hand towel, handkerchief, tablecloth”), from Latin mantēlium, mantēle (“cloth, hand towel, handkerchief, tablecloth”). Also vocalized hyper-classically مِنْدِيل (mindīl) at odds with origin, usage, and descendants.
