σάκκος

Etymology
Most likely borrowed from, possibly from. Compare 🇨🇬, Imperial 🇨🇬, Talmudic 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. The word is a widely-borrowed Mediterranean Kulturwort.

Černý and Forbes suggest the word was originally Egyptian, a nominal derivative of that also yielded 🇨🇬 and was borrowed into Greek perhaps by way of a Semitic intermediary. However, Vycichl and Hoch reject this idea, noting that such an originally Egyptian word would be expected to yield Hebrew rather than. Instead, they posit that the Coptic and Greek words are both borrowed from Semitic, with the Coptic word perhaps developing via 🇨🇬.
