لوزینه

Persian

Etymology

Inherited from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (lwcynk' /⁠lōzēnag⁠/, “almond sweetmeat, marzipan”),[1][2][3] which according to Eilers developed with a n → l sound change from earlier *nōčēnak (“pastry with pine nuts (which taste similar to almonds)”),[4] a derivative of Old Persian 𐎴𐎢𐎨𐎡𐎴 (n-u-c-i-n /⁠naucainaʰ⁠/, “of pine”, adjective), from *nauciš.

Akin to Arabic لَوْزِينَج (lawzīnaj), Khwarezmian [script needed] (lwzynyk), Classical Syriac ܠܘܙܐ (lūzā), Arabic لَوْز (lawz).[5][6]
