Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Zune

👉 "Zune," a term borrowed from the Bible, originally meant "a bag." In Hebrew, "zune" refers to a pouch or satchel. It's mentioned in the New Testament as a device that converts written words into sound waves for transmission over long distances. Zunes were commonly used by early Christians and Jews during the Second Temple Period (ca. 520-470 BCE). They could be carried on pilgrimages, as they were believed to be capable of communicating between distant communities or groups. The term "zune" became a popular term in later centuries for similar devices that facilitated communication over long distances.
