شوکران

See also: شوكران

Persian

Etymology

Through a Semitic borrowing, however a false cognate to the Semitic root for drunkenness, intoxication (Arabic س ك ر (s k r)); from a form equaling Aramaic שׁכרונא / ܫܲܟܪܘܿܢܵܐ (šaḵrōnā, “henbane”), Hebrew שִׁכָּרוֹן (šikārōn, “henbane”), Arabic سَكْرَان (sakrān), سَيْكَرَان (saykarān, “henbane”). Derived from Akkadian 𒌑𒅫 (U2.ŠAKIR /⁠šakirû⁠/, “a plant, drug”), ultimately a loan from Sumerian 𒌑𒅫 (U2.ŠAKIR /⁠šakir⁠/, “a plant, drug”).
