Has been explained as coming from در (dar, “door”) +‎ واز (wāz, “open”), with the later word واز (wāz) (Archaic in Iranian Persian) coming from Middle Persian 𐫀𐫁𐫀𐫝 (ʾbʾc /⁠abāz⁠/, “back, again, re-”).

Though it may have other origins, compare similar words in Semitic: Akkadian 𒉣𒇬 (tarbāṣu, “cowshed; courtyard”), Aramaic תַּרְחִּיצָא (tarbīṣā) / תַּרְחָּצָא (ṭarbāṣā) / ܬܰܪܒܳܨܳܐ (ṭarbāṣā, “courtyard”), Ugaritic 𐎚𐎗𐎁𐎕 (trbṣ, “stable”), which is a formation that belongs to the Proto-Semitic verb *rabaṣ́- used for the sitting of an animal, on which root see Arabic ر ب ض (r b ḍ).

Possibly connected to Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (dlpʾs /⁠darbās⁠/, “palace”) and the Iranian borrowings: Old Armenian դարպաս (darpas), դարապաս (darapas), Georgian დარბაზი (darbazi, “palace”).
