Wiktionary EN
Etymology unknown. While Beekes prefers a Pre-Greek origin, according to Archigenes it is a Classical Syriac word. Perhaps this leads to the root ܩ-ܢ-ܝ (q-n-y) equalling Arabic ق ن ي (q-n-y) related to “acquisition”, “possession”, compare قِنّ (qinn, “slave”), and ܩܢܐ (qennā, “nest”) also means lupanar, perhaps “nest” is even the poof’s tewel. Another meaning strain could be seen in the meanings “to ensconce, to contain“ or “to assuage” of كَنَّ (kanna), in the root of the related Arabic كِنّ (kinn, “nest, refuge, shelter”), as either the male member is ensconced in a sex worker or his performance is soothing to the customer. The -αι- would only be the emphatic state ending, parallel to the common -այ (-ay) in Old Armenian Aramaic borrowings as in քուրայ (kʿuray), շղթայ (šłtʿay), փեսայ (pʿesay), ծնծղայ (cncłay), շուկայ (šukay) etc. (a quarter of them has this ending), and the δ-stem secondarily from a Greek adjective formation or as e.g. χλαμύς (khlamús).
