Etymology
From Middle Persian ptkʾl (“struggle, battle, dispute”). Compare Manichaean Middle Persian (phykʾʾr, “strife, battle”), Avestan 𐬞𐬀𐬌𐬙𐬌𐬀𐬐𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬥𐬀𐬊𐬝 (paitiakərənaot̰, “he fought against”). Ultimately from the preverb *pati- and the root *kar- (“to do, make”). Old Armenian պայքար (paykʻar) and Georgian პაექრობა (ṗaekroba) are Iranian borrowings.
