Etymology

[edit]

Ultimately from Old Persian *𐎴𐎡𐏀𐎣 (*n-i-z-k /⁠naizaka-⁠/), borrowed from Old Median *náyzakam, from Proto-Iranian *náyjakam, derived from *náyjam, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *náyȷ́žʰam (spear, sharp tip).

Compare Middle Persian nyck' (nēzag), Persian نیزه (neyze, nêza), Avestan 𐬥𐬀𐬉𐬰𐬀- (naēza-), and Arabic نَيْزَك (nayzak). Doublet of найза (naiza).
