درخت

دِرَخت (diraxt or dirəxt) (definite accusative دِرَختی or دِرَختؽ, plural دِرَختلَر or دِرَختلار)

1. Arabic spelling of diraxt, dirəxt (“tree”)

• درخد (deraxd) (dialectal, Hamadan)

From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (dlht'), [Book Pahlavi needed] (dlʾht'), 𐫅𐫡𐫟𐫤 (drxt /⁠draxt⁠/, “tree”), from Proto-Iranian *draxta- (“firmly standing”), with the first part deriving from Proto-Iranian *drag- (“to hold, strengthen”), itself related to Proto-Iranian *dā́ru (“wood, tree”) and/or Proto-Indo-Iranian *dʰar- (“to hold, support”). Cognate with Vedic Sanskrit दारुष् (dāruṣ), Parthian 𐫅𐫡𐫟𐫤 (drxt /⁠draxt⁠/), Baluchi درچک (diračk, “tree”). Compare also the Iranian borrowings Imperial Aramaic 𐡃𐡓𐡇𐡕𐡀 (drḥtʾ, “tree”), Old Armenian դրախտ (draxt, “garden; paradise”).
