Etymology

Inherited from Middle Russian нашатырь (našatyrʹ) (since 16th c.), from Persian نشادر (nošâdor, nošâder, “sal ammoniac”) probably via some Turkic intermediary, from Middle Persian 𐭠𐭭𐭥𐭱𐭠𐭲𐭥𐭥𐭩 (*ʾnwšʾdwr /⁠*anōšādur⁠/, “immortal fire”), combinated from 𐭠𐭭𐭥𐭱 (anōš /⁠ʾnwš⁠/, “elixir, antidote”, literally “immortal”) and 𐭠𐭲𐭥𐭥𐭩 (ʾdwr' /⁠ādur⁠/, “fire”).
