Etymology

[edit]

From Middle Persian [Term?] (/⁠tārīk⁠/), from [Term?] (/⁠tār⁠/, darkness), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *témHos (whence modern تار (târ, dark, faint)), + Middle Persian [Term?] (/⁠-īk⁠/, adjective-deriving suffix) (whence modern ـی (-i)). One of a few adjectives that has preserved the final -g/k phoneme and did not undergo the regular sound change from Middle Persian to Modern Persian. Others include باریک (bârik, slender) and نزدیک (nazdik, near).
