Etymology
The origin is unknown.[1][2]
Perhaps an Iranian borrowing.[3] Compare Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫍𐫏𐫢𐫤𐫗 (hyštn /hištan/, “to leave, abandon; remit (of sins); establish, appoint; let, allow”), Persian هشتن (heštan, “to leave, abandon; to let, allow”), Parthian 𐫍𐫏𐫘𐫤 (hyst /hišt/), past participle of 𐫍𐫏𐫡𐫉- (hyrz-, “to let, leave, abandon; remit (of sins), establish, appoint”), all from Proto-Indo-Iranian *sárȷ́ati. Compare Old Armenian հեշտպաշտակ (heštpaštak, “voluntary servant”), which may contain the same Iranian root.
