سنط

/santˤ/

Where it comes from

Perhaps through Coptic ϣⲟⲛϯ (šonti), ultimately from Egyptian snḏt (/⁠ˈsantʼə/ < earlier /ˈsantʃʼat⁠/, “being feared, being respected, evoking reverence or respect; acacia”) stemming from its religious significance. Compare Akkadian 𒊭𒄠𒂅 (/⁠šamṭu, samṭu⁠/, “acacia”), a foreign loan suspected to be borrowed from the same Egyptian.

noun سَنْط · sanṭ · السَّنْط · سَنْطٌ

Acacia spp. or Vachellia spp., especially Vachellia nilotica
Similar: طَلْح, قَرَظ

In English

acacia shrub or tree
