Etymology[edit]
From combination of the two word Middle Persian gywʼk' (gyāg, “place”) and Middle Persian lwp- (rōb, “rub, sweep”).
For the combination of Middle Persian gywʼk'-rōb (gyāg-rōb), which literally means 'place-sweep' a 'broom'. In the transition from Middle Persian to New Persian, the language drop the "g" at the end of almost every word, and many "g" became "j" which explains the change in gyāg to jā.
