Etymology
خَزْنَة comes from the triliteral Semitic root خ-ز-ن (kh-z-n), meaning to store or hoard. The same root gives خزانة (cabinet), خزينة (treasury), and مخزن (warehouse). مخزن later passed through Italian and French to give English magazine, first meaning a storehouse and later a store of ammunition or a periodical.
