Persian

Etymology

Borrowed from Arabic زَنْبَق (zanbaq), from Middle Persian [script needed] (cmbk' /⁠čambak⁠/) (whence Old Armenian ճանբակ (čanbak)), related to Urdu چمپا / Hindi चंपा (campā), Punjabi چمپا (čampā, “jasmine in the broad sense”), which has been borrowed into Persian as چمپا (čampâ, “jasmine”). All via Sanskrit चम्पक (campaka, “champac”).
