Etymology

Etymology tree

Middle Persian [script needed] (šyšk' /⁠šīšag⁠/)

Persian شیشه

From Middle Persian [script needed] (šyšk' /⁠šīšag⁠/, “bottle, flask”), seemingly from *šīš (compare Old Armenian շիշ (šiš, “bottle”), an Iranian borrowing) + common suffix -ag, probably ultimately from Semitic. Compare Biblical Hebrew שַׁיִשׁ (šayiš, “alabaster; marble”), Classical Syriac ܫܝܫܐ (šēšā, “marble”), Egyptian

(šs, “alabaster”).
