नाज़

Hindi

Etymology

Borrowed from Classical Persian ناز (nāz), from Parthian nʾz (nāz, “pleasure, delight”) (which either borrowed from Parthian nʾz (nāz, “pleasure, delight”) or inherited from Middle Persian [script needed] (nʾz- /⁠nāz-⁠/, “to take pleasure, to delight”, whence the verb نازیدن (nāzīdan)), both from Proto-Iranian *nāz- (“to be coquettish”)). No Indo-European etymology per Cheung 2007. Compare Old Armenian նազիմ (nazim), an Iranian borrowing.
