gañán

Unknown, with mainly two Germanic and Arabic etymologies considered. The traditional early proposition was a descent from Latin ganeō (“glutton, libertine”), but this has been mostly discarded. The DRAE considers the ultimate source to be Arabic غَنَّام (ḡannām, “shepherd”). Coromines favours a derivation from Middle French gaignant (“unskilled laborer, lout, ruffian, etc.”).
