ناسك

Etymology
Likely borrowed from a base stem active participle of the matching root meaning in the widespread base stem “to pour out”, “to cast” – of which sense in the passive participle form  derives as a separate borrowing from Aramaic – and in a technical cultic sense “to libate”, a root related to the Arabic ; considering also that the other terms within the root formula, ,  ,  have most probably been contrived on the model of the present term.
