Etymology: Unclear. It has been suggested that this word is a compound, with the first element possibly being a contraction of آقا (âqâ, “agha”) and the second related to خوانْدَن (xândan, “to read, study”) or a contraction of خداوند (xodâvand, “master, God”), though the Encyclopædia Iranica states that this set of etymologies is "[not] entirely satisfactory".
