Etymology

[edit]

From զ- (z-) +‎ *երծ- (*erc-) +‎ -ան- (-an-). The independently unattested root *երծ- (*erc-) is usually connected with Proto-Indo-Iranian *sárȷ́ati (to let go, dismiss, release, cast off) and derived from Proto-Indo-European *serǵ-, with no other cognates. However, others derive the Indo-Iranian from *selǵ-, which cannot give *երծ- (*erc-). Also compare Old Georgian დახრწევა (daxrc̣eva), extended root of which should be *-ხერწ- (*-xerc̣-)/*-ჰერწ- (*-herc̣-).

Verb

[edit]

զերծանիմ (zercanim)

  1. (transitive) to take something off somebody/oneself (of clothes, adornments, skin, etc.)
  2. (intransitive) to escape; to avoid; to get rid of
