Etymology 2

Inherited from Proto-Iranian *jr̥Hanyam, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ȷ́ʰr̥Hanyam, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰl̥h₃enyom. Compare Old Church Slavonic злато (zlato, “gold”), Latvian zelts, English gold.

Pronunciation

metal

Persian

Etymology 1

From Middle Persian *zarr (“gold”), from Parthian *zarn (“gold”); the inherited form would have started with a D, as is seen in Old Persian 𐎭𐎼𐎴𐎡𐎹 (d-r-n-i-y). Ultimately from a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰelh₃- (“green, yellow”). Indo-Iranian cognates include Northern Kurdish zêrr, and Sanskrit हिरण्य (hiraṇya). Other cognates include Old Church Slavonic злато (zlato), Latvian zelts, and English gold and yellow.
