Etymology
Inherited from a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *tr̥s-, the zero-grade of *ters- (“dry”).
The alternative form թարշամ- (tʻaršam-), found in թարշամիմ (tʻaršamim), is from the same source. This twofold reflex is considered to be one of the oldest traces of early dialectal diversity. It has been variously explained by a different stem formation (*tr̥sy-, compare Sanskrit तृष्यति (tṛṣyati)),[1] the influence of the Iranian cognate[2] (compare Proto-Iranian *tŕ̥šnah (“thirst”), Old Armenian թաշկինակ (tʻaškinak)), or the operation of the ruki-rule.[2]
According to Kölligan, the -ամ (-am) part may be identical with ամ (am, “year”), whose cognates show the meaning ‘summer’; the compound would then mean ‘having a dry summer’, applied to plants ‘exposed to a dry summer’ whence ‘dried, withered’.[3]
