Where it comes from

Borrowed from Classical Persian کاغذ, from Sogdian 𐼸𐼰𐼲𐼹𐼰 (kʾɣδʾ /⁠kāγaδā⁠/), perhaps a borrowing from Old Chinese 紙 (OC *kjeʔ). Compare Assamese কাগজ (kagoz), Bengali কাগজ (kagoj), Bhojpuri कागज (kāgaj), Gujarati કાગળ (kāgaḷ), Kannada ಕಾಗದ (kāgada), Marathi कागद (kāgad), Odia କାଗଜ (kāgaja), Punjabi ਕਾਗ਼ਜ਼ (kāġaz), Marwari कागद (kāgad), Tamil காகிதம் (kākitam), Telugu కాగితము (kāgitamu). Also cognate with Japanese 紙 (-shi, “newspaper”).
