Borrowed from German Schamane, [1] from Russian шама́н(šamán), [1] from Evenki шама̄н(şamān), сама̄н(samān). [2] The Evenki word is possibly derived from the root ша- ("to know"); [3] or else a loanword from Tocharian B ṣamāne(“monk”) [4] or Chinese 沙門(shāmén, “Buddhist monk”), from Pali samaṇa from Sanskrit श्रमण(śramaṇa, “ascetic, monk, devotee”), from श्रम(śrama, “weariness, exhaustion; labor, toil; etc.”), which would make this a doublet of Sramana. [4]
