Etymology edit

Presumed to be borrowed, alongside Ossetian фынг (fyng), фингӕ (fingæ, table),[1] from Ancient Greek πίναξ (pínax), πίνακος (pínakos, wooden plank, dish, writing table),[2] possibly via Classical Syriac ܦܝܢܟܐ (pinkā).[3] Perhaps cognate with Sanskrit पिनाक (pínāka, staff, stick).[4] Whereas according to Vinson this is all from a compound of Middle Chinese, Mandarin (pén, flat dish)) and (àng, wide-bellied bowl) (perhaps instead (yín, silver), (àn, desk, table)?), however not attested, so alternatively he suggests 平安 (píng'ān, tranquil, safe) printed onto Chinese household appliances like vases.[5]
