ضَمان comes from the Arabic triliteral root ض-م-ن, whose verb ضَمِنَ means to guarantee, to be liable for, or to contain. ضَمان is the maṣdar, the verbal noun, built on the فَعَال pattern, and it names the act or state of guaranteeing. Arabic is a Semitic language, not an Indo-European one, so it has no Proto-Indo-European root or European cognates.
