Etymology

Inherited from Middle Persian 𐭪𐭫𐭲 (-klt /⁠-kirt, -gird⁠/), from Old Persian [script needed] (-kṛta, “made, done”), from Proto-Iranian *-kr̥táh, from the adjective *kr̥táh (“made, done”) (compare Avestan 𐬐𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬙𐬀 (kər^əta), Old Persian 𐎣𐎼𐎫 (k-r-t /⁠karta⁠/), Inscriptional Parthian -𐭊𐭓𐭕 (-krt /⁠-kirt, -gird⁠/)), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kr̥tás (compare Sanskrit कृत (kṛtá)), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kʷr̥tós, from the root *kʷer- (“to do, make”).
