Persian
Etymology
Inherited from Middle Persian (lštk' /rištag/), from *rišt- (“to twist”, whence Classical Persian رشتن (rištan, “to twist, to spin”)) + -ag. The former is from Proto-Iranian *wrais- (“to turn, to spin”), from Proto-Indo-Iranian, from Proto-Indo-European *wriḱ-yé-ti (“to twist, to bend”). Compare Avestan 𐬎𐬭𐬎𐬎𐬌𐬯𐬌𐬀 (uruuisia, “to turn”), German reihen (“to sew loosely”), Latin rīca (“veil”).
