Etymology

In summary

From Arabic تنّور (tannūr). Cognate with English tandoor, Hebrew תנור (tanúr), all ultimately from Akkadian 𒋾𒂟 (tinūru), meaning (clay) oven. According to the Dehkhoda Dictionary, the Akkadian word consists of the parts tin meaning "mud" and nuro/nura meaning "fire" and is mentioned as early as in the Akkadian Epic of Gilgamesh.
