Old Turkic

Etymology

Inherited from Common Turkic *bars (“a large feline”) itself of unknown origins.

  1. The general consensus considers it a borrowing from an Iranian language,[1] compare Sogdian 𐼾𐼴𐽀𐼹𐼰𐼻𐼸 (pwrδʾnk),[2] Persian پلنگ (palang) and Sanskrit पृदाकु (pṛdāku, “viper; tiger, panther”).[3]
  2. Nishanyan instead suggests a borrowing from a Tocharian language,[4] compare Tocharian A and B pärs- (“to sprinkle, splash”).[5] See also Old Uyghur 𐾀𐽰𐽿𐾅 (taš), a late borrowing from the same Tocharian root.

Cognate with Turkish pars (“leopard, panther”). Compare also Middle Mongol ᠪᠠᠷᠰ (bars), a Turkic borrowing.[6]
