Middle Armenian

Etymology

Traditionally considered a derivative of փուշ (pʻuš, thorn, prickle), because oleaster is thorny.[1][2] But Mkrtchyan considers this a folk etymology and derives փշատ (pʻšat) from an unattested Iranian descendant of Proto-Iranian *paiš- (to crush, grind), whence Avestan 𐬞𐬌𐬱𐬀𐬧𐬙- (pišaṇt-, crushing, bruising), Middle Persian (pst /⁠pist⁠/, browned flour), Persian پست (pest, flour, meal; browned flour), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *peys- (to grind, crush), because oleaster fruits are used for making sweet flour.[3]

Noun

փշատ (pʻšat)

  1. fruit of oleaster, Elaeagnus angustifolia
