Old Armenian
Etymology
Borrowed from an unidentified Iranian compound, the second part of which is *bandah (“tie”), on which see բանտ (bant). The first part is uncertain. Perikhanian explains it with Middle Median *šar(a)-, an unattested cognate of the first part of Persian شلوار (šal-vâr, “trousers”) and of Ancient Greek σκέλος (skélos, “leg”); it is also a cognate with Northern Kurdish şel (“trousers; leg”). Possibly related Old Armenian աշխարաւանդ (ašxarawand), Old Georgian შარავანდი (šaravandi, “royal crown”).
Noun
շարաւանդ • (šarawand)
