Etymology
1. From Parthian, equalling Persian ظانگا (zângâ). Perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)keng- (“to hobble, limp”), similar to English shank.
2. The Late Latin term (as the plural tzangae), is found only as a transcription in Koine Greek τζάγγη, plural τζάγγαι (tzángē, plural tzángai) from which, the Mediaeval Greek τζαγγίον n (tzangíon, “a Byzantine kind of shoe”). See: English Nouns '
shank'.
