فنطاس
Arabic
Etymology
With well-known augmented alveolar nasal between a first and second radical from the root ف ط س (f ṭ s) in its meaning of flatness, being trodden down, having a depression – although by now this connection is not necessarily there and containers denoted by this word are as well bulky.
