Old Armenian

Etymology

The origin is uncertain. Likely related to Old Armenian շուշեմ (šušem, to be neglectful) and both possibly borrowed from Iranian: compare Classical Persian سست (sust, feeble, weak; lazy, idle; slow; relaxed, negligent). Middle Armenian շուշտանդամ (šuštandam, impotent) is certainly considered a borrowing from the synonymous Persian سست اندام (sost-andâm).
