Persian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Middle Iranian, whence also Old Armenian սոխ (sox). Further derivation uncertain, but probably ultimately Turkic, from Proto-Turkic *sogan, cognate to Southern Altai согоно (sogono), Tuvan согуна (soguna), Khakas соған (soğan), Bashkir һуған (huğan), Chuvash сухан (suh̬an), Azerbaijani soğan (“onion”), Turkish soğan, Old Turkic 𐰣𐰍𐰽 (soɣun), etc., all meaning “onion”; also borrowed into Mongolian as сонгино (songino). Compare that on the other hand the most widespread Turkic word for garlic, *sarïmsak, is borrowed from Iranian.
