Etymology
Qinnīna is an old word in Arabic dictionaries, built on the triliteral root q-n-n. Some classical lexicographers link it to qinn, 'nest' or 'coop', picturing a bottle as a rounded, enclosing vessel. Its deeper origin outside Arabic is not firmly settled, so no confident source language can be named.
