How the two words are related
Loanword
Borrowed between the languages (or by both from a third).
Practically the same word: Hebrew סַדָּן and Arabic sindān both come from Middle Persian *sandān — a craftsman's word that spread into Aramaic, Hebrew, and Arabic alike. In Arabic it even displaced the older native word, عَلَاة.
