Persian

Etymology

From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (cʾlk' /⁠čārag⁠/, “means, remedy”), suffixed form of synonymous [Book Pahlavi needed] (cʾl /⁠čār⁠/), ultimately probably from Proto-Indo-European *kʷer- (“to do; to make; to build”). Akin to Old Armenian ճարակ (čarak), an Iranian borrowing.
