Etymology edit

Cognates are found in many languages of Western and Central Asia: compare Ossetian ӕнгу́з (ængúz), ӕнгозӕ (ængozæ), Georgian ნიგოზი (nigozi), Mingrelian ნეძი (neʒi), ნეზი (nezi), Lomavren aŋkor (Caucasus), անքոտ (ankʻot) (Eğin), Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (gwc /⁠gōz⁠/), Classical Persian (gōz), Northern Kurdish gûz, goz, gwîz, Central Kurdish گوێز (gwêz), Mazanderani [script needed] (āγōz, ăγōz), Shughni ғу̊з (ɣū̊z), Sarikoli γewz, Yidgha [script needed] (oγúzo), Middle Armenian ղոյզ (ġoyz), Aramaic גּוֹזָא (gōzā), Classical Syriac ܓܘܙܐ (gawzā), Arabic جَوْز (jawz), Hebrew אֱגוֹז (ʾĕḡôz), Punic *𐤀𐤂𐤆 (*ʾgz /⁠ʾəgūz⁠/), Chagatai قوز (qoz).^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

Probably all ultimately from Old Iranian *gauza- (“nut”), with the preverbs *han-, *aH- and *ni-, from the root Proto-Iranian *gauz- (“to hide, conceal”) (compare Sanskrit गूहति (gū́hati)), referring to the fact that the edible nut is enclosed in a green outer fruit wall.^[6]^[5]

Compare also ողկոյզ (ołkoyz) and կոյզ (koyz).
