Etymology

An Iranian borrowing: compare Middle Persian (/⁠ādurgōn, ādurgōnag⁠/, a kind of flower, perhaps marigold or poppy),[1][2] Persian آذرگون (âzargun, fiery; Calendula officinalis), Northern Kurdish argon (of fiery colour). For the constituents see ատր- (atr-, fire) and գոյն (goyn, colour). Compare the loanwords from the same Iranian compound: Old Georgian ადრაგუნი (adraguni, a kind of flower),[3] Arabic آذَرْيُون (ʔāḏaryūn, Calendula officinalis), and possibly also the female given name Ահգուն (Ahgun).

Adjective

ատրագոյն (atragoyn)

  1. of fiery colour
    Synonym: հրագոյն (hragoyn)
  2. a kind of flower, perhaps pheasant's eye, Adonis

Usage notes

The flower name is included in Haybusak based on St. Šēhrimanean's collection, who identifies it with pheasant's eye.[4] This is followed by Bedevian.[5] It is unknown to which language period the flower name belongs.
