Inherited from Proto-Indo-European; in Middle Persian (syl) or Aramaic heterogram (TWMʾ); often claimed to come from an Old Persian *θigraʰ, only imagined to be reflected in the month name Old Persian 𐎰𐎠𐎡𐎥𐎼𐎨𐎡𐏁 (Θāigraciš, literally *the month of garlic-collecting), while another suggestion sees the full term rather reflected by Proto-Turkic *sarmïsak (garlic) borrowed from Iranian.
