"shaman" meaning in English

See shaman in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈʃɑːmən/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈʃɑːmən/ [General-American] Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-shaman.wav , LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-shaman2.wav Forms: shamans [plural]
Rhymes: -ɑːmən, -æmən, -ɑːmən, -eɪmən, -ɑːn Etymology: Borrowed from German Schamane, from Russian шама́н (šamán), from Evenki шама̄н (şamān), сама̄н (samān). The Evenki word is possibly derived from the root ша- ("to know"); or else a loanword from Tocharian B ṣamāne (“monk”) or Chinese 沙門 /沙门 (shāmén, “Buddhist monk”), from Pali samaṇa from Sanskrit श्रमण (śramaṇa, “ascetic, monk, devotee”), from श्रम (śrama, “weariness, exhaustion; labor, toil; etc.”), which would make this a doublet of sramana.
