Etymology

From Middle Persian [script needed] (šutan), from Old Persian 𐎠𐏁𐎡𐎹𐎺𐎶 (š(i)yav-, “to set, go forth”), from Proto-Indo-European *kyew- (“to move, go”). Cognates include Kurdish, Ossetian цӕуын (cæwyn), Pashto شول (šwəl), Sanskrit च्य्अवते (cyávate, “move to and fro, stir”), Old Armenian չու (čʻu) and Ancient Greek σεύω (seúō, “put in quick motion, drive”). Note the Iranian borrowings, Old Armenian արշաւեմ (aršawem), ապաշաւ (apašaw).
