Persian [edit]
Etymology [edit]
From Middle Persian 𐭠𐭬𐭠𐭲 (āpāt, ābād). Per Lubotsky, from Common Iranian *āpāta-, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *peh₂- (“to protect”), whence also Persian پاییدن (pāyīdan). Compare also Old Armenian ապատ (apat) and անապատ (anapat).
Commonly compared to Sanskrit आवास (ā-vāsa, “abode, residence, dwelling”), which is most likely from Sanskrit root वसति (“to dwell, live, stop, stay”).
