Persian[edit]

Alternative forms[edit]

پدرام (padrâm)

Etymology[edit]

An old compound:

From Proto-Indo-European *per-, *próti, *préti. Compare Avestan 𐬞𐬀𐬌𐬙𐬌 (paⁱti, “against”), Sanskrit प्रति (prati, “against”).

From Proto-Indo-European *h₁rem-. Compare Avestan 𐬭𐬀𐬨𐬀𐬌𐬙𐬌 (ramaⁱti), Sanskrit रमते (ramate). ^[1]

Folk etymology links it to بد (bad, “bad”) and رام (râm), which is wrong.
