Borrowed from Persian بخت (baxt, “luck, fortune”), itself from Middle Persian (b(ʾ)ht' /baxt/, “fortune, luck”).
بخت • (baht)
From Middle Persian (b(ʾ)ht' /baxt/, “fortune, luck”) which is the past stem of Middle Persian (b(ʾ)htn', bhš- /baxtan, baxš/, “to apportion, to distribute, to allocate”) , from Proto-Iranian *bagta- (“assigned, allotted; fate”), a lexicalized past participle ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂g- (“to distribute”); see there for further information.
