Etymology

From Middle Persian (dypʾk' /⁠dēbāg⁠/, brocade), probably a derivative of Proto-Iranian *diHp- (to shine, light up), due to the sheen imparted by the gold and silver in traditional brocades;[1] see Sanskrit दीप् (dīp, to blaze, to glow) for more on the root.[2] Compare also the Iranian borrowings: Old Armenian դիպակ (dipak), Classical Syriac ܕܝܒܓܐ (dybgʾ /⁠dēybāḡā⁠/), Arabic دِيبَاج (dībāj).
