درونه

Persian

Etymology 1

Attested as Manichaean Middle Persian [script needed] (drwng /⁠drōnag⁠/, “rainbow”), but without Middle Iranian attestation in the sense of leopardsbane which has been borrowed as Classical Syriac ܕܪܘܢܓ (drwng) and Arabic دَرَوْنَج (darawnaj), uncertain whether it is a distinct word; the rainbow meaning at least is from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (dlwn' /⁠drōn⁠/, “bow”), which is inherited from Proto-Iranian *dráwnam, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *dráwnam.
