Persian edit
Etymology 1 edit
From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (gwn' /gōn/, “colour, complexion”), from Proto-Iranian *gauna (“hair; color”), perhaps related to Sanskrit गुण (guṇa, “thread, cord”), with further origin beyond Indo-Iranian uncertain.
Possibly from the BMAC substrate.[1] Alternatively, from Proto-Indo-European *gow-no-m (“something curved or vaulted”), from *gew- (“to curve”).[2]
Akin to Avestan 𐬔𐬀𐬊𐬥𐬀 (gaona, “colour”), Pashto غونه (γūna, “colour”), Ossetian хъуын (qwyn, “hair”). Old Armenian գոյն (goyn) is an Iranian borrowing.
