دارشيشعان

Arabic

Etymology

From Persian (dâr šiša'ân). The beginning of this term renders (dâr, “tree, wood”), the end is unclear, suspected Turkic *čeček (“flower”) or *agaç (“tree”), but the attestation is early for a Turkic borrowing, otherwise after Vullers Sanskrit चोचक (cocaka), चोच (coca, “cinnamon-bark”) in comparison of the woody branches.
