malaun
Where it comes from
From Bengali মালাউন (malaun, “cursed”), which is from Arabic مَلْعُون (malʕūn), ultimately from the root ل ع ن (l ʕ n).
noun malauns · maluan
- a Hindu person from Bangladesh and India. And then there comes the word ‘Malaun.’ For many Bangladeshi Muslims, Malaun is synonymous to Hindu. Owing to the wide usage of the word since the Partition of 1947, especially after the birth of Bangladesh in 1971, people have almost forgotten Malaun is a derogatory word.
- a Hindu person in general.
