فراموش

From Middle Persian (pl(ʾ)mwš /⁠fra/ā-mōš⁠/, “forgotten”), ultimately from Proto-Iranian *fra- (“forward”) + *ā- (“to, at”) + *marš- (“to forget”), the latter two components from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éd (“to, at”) + *mers- (“to forget, annoy, disturb, neglect”).

Cognates include Baluchi شموشگ (šamóšag, “to forget”), English mar (“to spoil, damage”), Armenian մոռանալ (moṙanal, “to forget, fail”), Sanskrit मृष्यति (mṛṣyati, “to forget”), Latvian aizmirst (“to forget”), Tocharian A märs- (“to forget”).
