Etymology 1

edit

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.[1][2] See Old Armenian ընկոյզ (ənkoyz) for more.
