Old Armenian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Usually considered a word of unknown origin.[1][2][3]

Probably a Semitic borrowing: compare Aramaic כּיתְרָא (kiṯrā, crown, fancy headdress),[4] Imperial Aramaic 𐡒𐡕𐡓 (qṭr, crown),[5][6] Aramaic כּוֹתֶרֶח / כּוֹתַרְתָּא / כְּתַרְתָּא (kəṯartā, kōṯartā, kōṯrā, knob, capital),[7] Aramaic קִיטְרָא (qiṭrā) / Classical Syriac ܩܷܛܪܐ (qeṭrā, knot, joint, amulet, diadem, tiara), Aramaic קְטַר (qṭar) / Classical Syriac ܩܛܰܪ (qṭar, to tie, to bind),[8] Ge'ez ከተረ (kätärä, to make an enclosure, to surround; to detain) (also Tigrinya, Tigre, Amharic, Harari, Sebat Bet Gurage),[9] Hebrew כֶּתֶר (kéter, crown), כָּתַר (kātar, to surround, to encircle),[10] Arabic كَتْر (katr, camel's hump),[11][12] Ancient Greek κίταρις (kítaris), κίδαρις (kídaris, name of a turban-like headgear) (Oriental loanword).[13] The connection with Hebrew was suggested already by Margoliouth,[14] but rejected by Ačaṙean and J̌ahukyan, who did not know about the other Semitic forms.
