Etymology

From Middle Persian [script needed] (šyšk' /⁠šīšag⁠/, bottle, flask), seemingly from *šīš (compare Old Armenian շիշ (šiš, bottle), an Iranian borrowing) + common suffix -ag, probably ultimately from Semitic. Compare Biblical Hebrew שַׁיִשׁ (šayiš, alabaster; marble), Classical Syriac ܫܝܫܐ (šēšā, marble), Egyptian


(šs, alabaster).
