Etymology

Likely borrowed from Middle Persian 𐭱𐭲𐭥𐭩 (štʿy /⁠šahr⁠/, land, city) rather than inherited.[1] In either case from Proto-Iranian *xšaθram, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kšatrám (kingdom, rule). Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *tk-e-tróm from Proto-Indo-European *tek- (take by the hand, obtain).[2] Compare Avestan 𐬑𐬱𐬀𐬚𐬭𐬀 (xšaθra, rule, power), Old Persian 𐎧𐏁𐏂𐎶 (x-š-ç-m /⁠xšaçam⁠/, realm, sovereignty). Cognate of Sanskrit क्षत्र (kṣatra, dominion, power, government).
