A Middle Iranian borrowing. Compare Parthian𐫀𐫀𐫁𐫝𐫀𐫡(ʾʾbcʾr), 𐫀𐫁𐫝𐫡(ʾbcr), 𐫀𐫀𐫁𐫋𐫀𐫡(ʾʾbjʾr/ābžār/, “materials, means”), Middle Persian(ʾp̄cʾl, ʾp̄zʾl/abzār/, “instrument, means; spice”), Manichaean Middle Persian𐫀𐫁𐫝𐫀𐫡(ʾbcʾr/abzār/, “materials, means”), Persianابزار(abzâr, “tool, instrument, implement, means”). Ultimately from an Iranian compound *Habí-čārna-, composed of the preverb *Habí- and the etymon of ճար(čar, “remedy, means”). Old Georgianაბჯარი(abǯari, “armour”) is borrowed from the same Iranian source. The homonymous Old Armenianաճառ(ačaṙ, “soap”) may be identical, but the sense development needs an explanation.
