بیمه

Probably first used in the aristocratic Persian of the Mughal empire, from at least the 1650s.^[1] The word spread from South Asia to the rest of the Persianate world. The first attestation by an author of Iranian origin is apparently from Tohfat al-'âlam (1801), itself a memoir of the author's journeys in India.^[2] The word may be from Persian بیم (bim, “fear”). Alternately, given the Indian origin, it may be from an Indo-Aryan language; compare Sanskrit भीम (bhīma, “fearful, frightening”). Both terms are ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyh₂- (“to fear”).
