سکوره

Persian[edit]

سکره (sokkora, sokkara, sokra), سکرچه (sukarrača, sukrača), سکرجه (sukarraja, sukraja), اسکره (uskara, uskarra, uskurra), اسکوره (uskūra), اسکرچه (uskarča)

Compare the Iranian loanwords: Classical Syriac ܣܩܪܩܐ (sqrqˀ), ܣܝܩܘܪܩܐ (syqwrqˀ /⁠sīqūrqā⁠/), Arabic سُكُرُّجَة (sukurruja), Proto-Slavic *skovorda and Old Armenian սկաւառակ (skawaṙak), the latter probably from earlier *սկաւար(ի)րակ (*skawar(i)rak), from Iranian *skavarid-ak containing the well-known suffix -ակ (-ak).

Probably borrowed from Ancient Greek σκευάριον (skeuárion, “small vessel”), from σκεῦος (skeûos). The Slavic and probably the Armenian reveal a form with a -d-, for which compare Ancient Greek σκευαρίδιον (skeuarídion, “small vessel”).
