Etymology
Etymology tree
From Middle Persian *dār-ī-čēnīg (literally “Chinese tree”), ultimately a combination of Old Persian 𐎭𐎠𐎽𐎢𐎺 (d-a-ru-u-v, “tree”) + Sanskrit चीन (cīna, “China”) + -𐎡𐎣 (-i-k, adjectival suffix, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *-ikas). Note also from the same source are Jewish Babylonian Aramaic דַּרְצִינִי (darṣīnī, “cinnamon”), Classical Syriac ܕܪܨܝܢܝ (dārṣīnī), ܨܝܢܕܪܓ (ṣīndreḡ, “cinnamon”) and Old Armenian դարիճենիկ (daričenik, “cinnamon”). By surface analysis, دار (dâr, “tree; wood”) + چین (čin, “China”).
