Where it comes from

Ultimately from Arabic دُكَّان (dukkān, “shop”).

noun dukhans

A small restaurant, tavern or shop in the Caucasus and Crimea. In smoky dukhans reeking of wine fumes, he saw the humble despair of ambals hoarse with fatigue, forsaken children, street musicians with hands trembling from hunger and drink, paupers with blue, sinewy necks, cigarette venders.
