Etymology

[edit]

From Persian پژوند (pažavand, pažvand), پژاوند (pažâvand, pimp), پازنک (pâzanak, pimp), whence also Azerbaijani pəzəvəng (huge, churl, berk, lout).[4]

The oft-repeated etymology from Middle Armenian բոզաւագ (bozawag, whoremaster) is incorrect, as the Armenian term is a barely-attested literary invention, whereas Turkish borrowings from Armenian are usually acquired orally from Armenian dialects.

See also the colloquial variants of پاسبان (pasban, guard); even if the present Turkish term is borrowed from Persian, in Iran the term may be itself have been loaned from the northwest to designate a “whore-watcher” (not the best-recorded regiolects of Turkish and Persian also).
