Persian
Etymology
The origin is uncertain, but possibly بالنگ (bâlang, “citron; cucumber”) or بادرنگ (bâdrang, “cucumber; lemon”) + اسپ (asp, “horse”), the first element generic for any plant of penetrative smell—as بلنجمشک (balanjmošk, “lemon balm”, literally “lemon musk”)— and the second because horses are naturally attracted to artemisias in cases of digestive issues. However see a different termination in Middle Armenian բարձուենեկ (barjuenek).
