Persian[edit]

Etymology 1[edit]

From Middle Persian plwhtn' (frōxtan, to sell), from Proto-Iranian *fra- (toward, pro-) + *vaxš- (to grow, increase), the latter from Proto-Indo-European *h₂weg-se-, from *h₂weg- (to grow).[1] Alternative theories link the second component to Proto-Iranian *wā́xš, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *wā́kš (voice) (whence آواز (âvâz, voice)), taking the original meaning as "to cry out".
