Etymology 2

Formally from the root ج ن ن‎ (j-n-n), though most likely a back-formation from جِنِّي‎ (jinnī), derived from Classical Syriac ܓܢܝ‎ (gnē, “spirit, genie”), or its emphatic form Aramaic גניא‎ (ginnāyā) or Classical Syriac ܓܢܝܐ‎ (genyā), also meaning "a tutelary deity" or "Astaroth idols". Compare Latin genius.

Noun

جِنّ • (jinn) m (collective, singulative جِنِّيّ‎ m (jinniyy) or جِنِّيَّة‎ f (jinniyya))

(collective) spiritual or otherwise unseen, undetectable, masked, or morphed beings that may be benevolent or helpful (agathodaemons, eudaemons), neutral, or malevolent (cacodemons); jinn, genies, genii, demons; elfkind, sprites
Synonym: جِنَّة‎ (jinna)
(collective) any mythical beings in general (such as fairies, satyrs, nymphs, elves and goblins)

Usage notes

In Arabic and Islamic mythology and demonology, the genies (alternatively referred to in English using the transliteration jinn), are conceptualized as a race that lives on earth alongside humans and beasts. Genies, like humans, are not deemed wholly evil or good, but they are said to possess powers that screen them from humankind, such as shapeshifting, which allows them to take up the form of animals (usually snakes and serpents) or even humans. Evil, godless, malicious, or otherwise harmful genies may influence the world indirectly (often through the works of human agents, such as sorcerers and witches) or directly (through the actions of the genies themselves). For example, Saʿd ibn ʿUbādah, one of the companions of Muhammad, is said to have been supposedly assassinated by a genie who shot him with an arrow while he was urinating alone in the desert, and the second Caliph ʽUmar ibn al-Ḵaṭṭāb, as reported by Al-Munāwi in his Fayḍ al-Qadīr ("The Flow of the Ablest"), struck dead a غُول‎ (ḡūl) (a kind of جِنّ‎ (jinn)) with his sword, describing the creature as being "with a form like a human but with legs like those of a donkey". The جِنّ‎ (jinn) are therefore not to be confused with the race of otherworldly creatures trapped in oil lamps as popularized in English, which, in Arabic, would be only a subtype of جِنّ‎ (jinn), like the قُطْرُب‎ (quṭrub, “lycanthrope”) and the سِعْلَاء‎ (siʿlāʾ, “succubus”) and the chiefly Egyptian نَدَّاهَة‎ (“a kind of murderous enchanting river-nymphs or succubi”). For more information, see the Wikipedia article on Jinn.

The word is also sometimes indiscriminately used when translating the non-Arabic names of other mythological beings (especially fairies and elves). This, however, often creates much confusion, and so various Arabicized forms of the original denominations may be used to avoid this.
