Etymology
From [Book Pahlavi needed] (mgwpt' /mowbed/) with the same meaning, from Proto-Iranian *magu-pati- (literally “head of the Magi”). By surface analysis, مغ (moġ, “magus”) + ـبد (-bad, “lord, master”). Compare the Iranian borrowings: Old Armenian մոգպետ (mogpet), մովպետան մովպետ (movpetan movpet), մուբիտան մուբիտ (mubitan mubit), Classical Syriac ܡܘܒܕ (mawbed), ܡܘܗܦܛܐ (mawhəp̄āṭā).
