Persian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Compare Central Kurdish قارچک (qarçik). It is not attested in Classical dictionaries. It must be a later formation with suffix -č like نمچ (namç, “humidity, moisture”): the base γ/qār- can be recognized in ﻏﺎری (ğâri, “sponge”), with -ī < -īk, being derived from Proto-Iranian *garH- (“soak, steep, moisten”). It displaced سماروغ (samâruğ) in contemporary Iran after a poriferal signification became fungal.[1]
Pronunciation[edit]
- (Iran, formal) IPA(key): [qɒːɹt͡ʃ]
