dewann.

/diːˈwɑːn/

Forms: Also duan, diwan, deewaun, dewaun, dēwān.

Etymology: Arabic and Persian dīwān, dīvān, Persian formerly dēvān , the same word as divan n., of which an early sense was ‘register’. Through the application to a register of accounts, and the financial department of a state, the word has in India been individualized and applied to the minister or officer over this department.

In India: (a) the head financial minister or treasurer of a state under former Muslim governments; (b) the prime minister of a native state; (c) the chief native officer of certain Government establishments, such as the Mint; (d) (in Bengal) a native servant in charge of the affairs of a house of business or a large domestic establishment, a steward. (Yule and Burnell.)
