Persian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Middle Persian [script needed] (dypʾk' /dēbāg/, “brocade”), probably a derivative of Proto-Iranian *diHp- (“to shine, light up”), due to the sheen imparted by the gold and silver in traditional brocades;[1] see Sanskrit दीप् (dīp, “to blaze, to glow”) for more on the root.[2] Compare also the Iranian borrowings: Old Armenian դիպակ (dipak), Classical Syriac ܕܝܒܓܐ (dybgʾ /dēybāḡā/), Arabic دِيبَاج (dībāj).

- (Classical Persian) IPA(key): [deː.βɑː]
- (Iran, formal) IPA(key): [d̪iː.bɒː]
