Where this word comes from

Inherited from Malay kunci (“key”), from Hindi कुंजी (kuñjī, “key”), from Punjabi ਕੁੰਜੀ (kuñjī) / کُنجی (kunjī), from Prakrit 𑀓𑀼𑀁𑀘𑀺𑀬𑀸 (kuṃciyā), from Sanskrit कुञ्चिका (kuñcikā). * Semantic loan from Dutch sleutel for wrench, spanner and clef senses. * Semantic loan from Dutch akkoord for chord sense. * Semantic loan from English key for music (other than clef sense), education, computing, cryptography and internet sense. In sense of “key”, displaced native pasak.
