خرشوف

Arabic

خُرْشُوف

Alternative forms

• خُرْشُف‎ (ḵuršuf) – basilectal

Etymology

Connections to Akkadian 𒅈𒋢𒌒𒁍 (arsuppu, “a type of cereal with a braid appearance; an unidentified type of apple or produce”, literally “carp fish, scales”), so applied from the appearance of its head.

Or, perhaps from Middle Persian *xār-čōp (literally “thorn stick”), from [script needed] (hʾl /xār/, “thorn”) + [script needed] (cwp /čōb, čōp/) equalling modern Persian خار‎ (xâr)) + چوب‎ (čôb), چوپ‎ (čôp, “stick”).
