Etymology

[edit]

    From Middle Persian ʾp̄ʾt' (ābād, populous, thriving, prosperous). Per Lubotsky, from Proto-Iranian *āpāta-, from *paH-, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *paH-, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *peh₂- (to protect), whence also پاییدن (pâyidan).

    Compare also Old Armenian ապատ (apat), -ապատ (-apat) and անապատ (anapat), which are Iranian borrowings.
    Commonly compared to Sanskrit आवास (āvāsa, abode, residence, dwelling), which is most likely from वसति (vasati, to dwell, live, stop, stay).
