/ka.niː.sa/
الأصلFrom the root ك ن س (k n s), referring to congregation and sweeping together. Compare the Hebrew root כ־נ־ס (k-n-s), whence Hebrew כְּנֶסֶת (knéset). Apparently, however, the sense of synagogue is a semantic loan from Aramaic כְּנִישְׁתָּא (kənīštā), כְּנִישָׁא (kənīšā), from the root כ־נ־שׁ (k-n-š), to which the Christian sense was added later.
- church (building and organization)
- synagogue (building and organization)
- obsoletea kind of palanquin or litter in which the rider conceals himself
