Etimologie (Engels)

From the root ك ن س (k n s), meaning to sweep together, to congregate. Compare the Hebrew root כ־נ־ס (k-n-s), hence Hebrew כְּנֶסֶת (knéset). But apparently the Arabic sense of synagogue is a semantic loan from Aramaic כְּנִישְׁתָּא (kənīštā), כְּנִישָׁא (kənīšā) from the root כ־נ־שׁ (k-n-š).
