Persian

Etymology

From Middle Persian 𐭬𐭩𐭥𐭪 (mēwag, “fruit”), and within Iranian, related to Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫖𐫏𐫇 (myw /⁠mēw⁠/), Baluchi نیوَگ (nēwag, “fruit”), and Parthian 𐫖𐫏𐫃𐫅 (mygd /⁠miɣẟ⁠/) (whence Old Armenian միրգ (mirg)) and 𐫖𐫏𐫃𐫅𐫃 (mygdg /⁠miɣẟag⁠/, “fruit”).

The term is traditionally derived from Proto-Iranian *madvī- and further from Proto-Indo-European *médʰu (“honey, wine, mead”). In an alternative hypothesis, Henning rejects this derivation, instead deriving the proto-form as *migda- and taking it as borrowed from Proto-Semitic *m-g-d- (“fruit”);[1] for this theory, compare Hebrew מֶגֶד (méged, “sweetness; good”). However, the original meaning of the Semitic root does not seem to be "fruit", and none of the Semitic descendants appear to have the meaning of "fruit" attested.
