Etymology

From SWSYA / ʾsp̄ (asp, “horse”) +‎ lyc- (rēz-, “to flow, pour; *to run”).[1] For the sense development of the latter compare Middle Persian tʾhtn' (tāxtan, “to cause to run, flow; to chase; to pour”), Armenian վազել (vazel, “to flow; to run”).[1] Alternatively, the second component is the cognate of Avestan 𐬎𐬭𐬎𐬎𐬀𐬉𐬯𐬋 (uruuaēsō, “turning point”), from Proto-Indo-European *wróyḱos, from *wreyḱ-.[2][3] The second component is found separately in the Aramaic borrowing בית ריסא (/⁠byt rysˀ⁠/, “race track”).[4][5]
