Etymology
From Middle Persian 𐭠𐭭𐭥𐭱𐭪𐭩 (ʾnʿšky /anōšag/, “immortal”), from 𐭠𐭭𐭥𐭱 (ʾnʿš /anōš/) + 𐭪𐭩 (ky /-ag/), from Old Persian [Term?] (/*anauša-/, “immortal”), from Proto-Iranian *an-awša- (“immortal”). Cognate with Avestan 𐬀𐬥𐬀𐬊𐬱𐬀 (anaoša, “immortal”), Ossetian ӕнус (ænus), and the Old Armenian borrowing անուշակ (anušak).
