Etymology

Borrowing from Middle Iranian *čakundar, the ending contaminated with դեղ (deł, “herb”).[1][2][3][4] See Persian چغندر (čoġondar) for more.

Middle Armenian ճակն (čakn, “beet”) and dialectal ճակն-բույս (čakn-buys), ճակն-խոտ (čakn-xot, “names of certain plants”) given by Haybusak,[5] if secure, should be explained as late back-formations from ճակնդեղ (čakndeł) by folk etymology.[1]

On the other hand, based on the old attestation in Armenian and the supposed independent existence of ճակն (čakn), Ačaṙean is inclined to derive the Iranian words from Armenian,[6] but this is rejected by Asatryan.[7]

Noun

ճակնդեղ • (čakndeł)

  1. beet, Beta vulgaris (plant); beetroot
    Synonym: բանջար (banǰar)
    • 5th century, Bible, Isaiah 51.20:
      Որդիքն քո տարակուսեալք՝ որ ննջեն ի կիցս ամենայն ճանապարհաց, իբրեւ զճակնդեղ կիսեփեաց […]
      Ordikʻn kʻo tarakusealkʻ, or nnǰen i kicʻs amenayn čanaparhacʻ, ibrew zčakndeł kisepʻeacʻ […]
      • Translation by John A. C. Greppin
        Your sons have fainted, and it is they who lie at the juncture of every highway like half-cooked beets […]
