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).
