Etymology 3 edit
Borrowed from Classical Persian زنگ (zang), perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *geng- (“lump”) and cognate with Ancient Greek γόγγρος (góngros, “tubercular disease in olive-trees”).[3] For the sense development compare the meanings "cancer", "disease of plants" found in some of the cognates.
