Persian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Apparently a Middle Persian genitive (ezafe) construction of بوز (bawz), بز (biz, “bee”), alternatively بوز (bōz), بوزه (bōza), پوز (pōz), پوزه (pōza, “snout, beak”), + ـی (-ī) + ـدان (-dān), if one assumes not the rare Pseudohandelia to constitute the original meaning, only later falsified with more easily obtainable herbs, since Pseudohandelia exposes umbels attractive to bees rather than calyces likenable to snouts.
