Etymology
Unknown. Cabolov compares with Arabic ذُرِّيَّة (ḏurriyya, “progeny”), ذَرارِي (ḏarārī, “children”), which seems possible, though not fully convincing since the Arabic words are of moderate frequency and the stem ḏarr- (zarr-) would have to be an independent backformation in Kurdish. Compare, however, the Kurdish borrowing zurryet (“progeny”) from ذُرِّيَّة (ḏurriyya). Other possibilities include a (vague) derivation from the stem of zan (“to bear; to be born”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵenh₁-.
