Persian
Etymology 1
Inherited from Middle Persian (ʾlyšk' /arešk/), 𐫡𐫏𐫢𐫐 (ryšk /rešk/, “envy”), a suffixed form of Proto-Indo-Iranian *Harš- (“envy”), perhaps borrowed from Avestan 𐬀𐬭𐬀𐬯𐬐𐬀- (araska-, “envy”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ers-. Cognate with Sanskrit ईर्ष्यति (īrṣyati, “to envy”), Old English irsian (“to be angry”).
