Etymology

From Middle Persian 𐫐𐫇𐫡𐫁𐫃 (kwrbg /⁠kurbag⁠/, “humble dwelling, hut”). The basic meaning is "formed, shaped;" compare Middle Persian klp (kirb, “body, form”), from Proto-Iranian *kŕ̥pš, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kŕ̥ps, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *krep- (“body”).

Cognate with Avestan 𐬵𐬎𐬐𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬞𐬙𐬀 (hukər^əpta, “well-formed”). Akin to the Iranian borrowings: Old Armenian կրպակ (krpak), կուղպակ (kułpak), Old Georgian ქულბაგი (kulbagi), Georgian ქულბაქი (kulbaki), Arabic كُرْبَق (kurbaq), قُرْبَق (qurbaq), كُرْبَج (kurbaj). Unrelated to Ancient Greek καλύβη (kalúbē).
