فرماندار

Persian

Etymology

Most probably composed of فرمان (farmân, “command, order”) +‎ دار (-dâr, suffix indicating ownership). Or from Middle Persian [script needed] (plm't'l' /⁠framādār⁠/), the additional 'n' phoneme before the suffix could be explained by influence from فرمان (farmân, “command, order”).
