Where this word comes from
Inherited from Malay guna-guna, but ultimately uncertain. Perhaps borrowed from Old Javanese guṇa (“magic”), derived from Sanskrit गुण (guṇa, literally “talent”). If so, analyzable as reduplication of guna. * The word guṇya is found in Indic tribal milieux, where it is connected with sorcery. In the case of guṇya, guṇa is commonly used as a synonym of “supernatural powers” (siddhi) in both Sanskrit and Old Javanese sources.
