پارسال

Persian

Etymology

A compound of پار (pâr, “last”) +‎ سال (sâl, “year”).

The first component is from Old Persian [script needed] (paruva), from Proto-Iranian *pr̥Hwo-, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *per- (cognates include English before), and the second component is from Middle Persian ŠNT (sāl, “year”), from Old Persian 𐎰𐎼𐎭 (θ-r-d /⁠θard-, θarad-⁠/, “year”), from Proto-Iranian *carHdáh, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćarHáts.
