Etymology

[edit]

An Iranian borrowing: compare Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ʾzd /⁠azd⁠/, known), Parthian: 𐫀𐫉𐫅 (ʾzd /⁠azd⁠/, known, public). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-Iranian *adᶻdʰáH.

Some of the derived terms are spelled with աստ- (ast-). This may be an alternative form of ազդ (azd) (compare ազդր (azdr) ~ աստր (astr)) or an unrelated root inherited from the Indo-European source of հաստ (hast). In compounds spelled with an -ս- (-s-), the root has the meaning "firm, strong", supposedly from "influential".

Noun

[edit]

ազդ (azd) indeclinable

  1. information
    Synonyms: լուր (lur), տեղեկութիւն (tełekutʻiwn)
    ազդ առնեմazd aṙnemto announce, tell
    ազդ լինիմazd linimto be aware of, be informed of; to be announced or published
  2. influence, effect
    Synonyms: ազդումն (azdumn), ազդեցութիւն (azdecʻutʻiwn)

Usage notes

[edit]

The word was indeclinable and mainly used in the idioms ազդ առնեմ (azd aṙnem), ազդ լինիմ (azd linim), which are probably Iranian calques.
