Etymology

Inherited from Middle Persian (psnd /⁠passand⁠/), from Proto-Iranian *pati- (“towards”, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *práti-, from Proto-Indo-European *préti) + *sand (“to look good”, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *sčand (“to look good”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ḱend- (“to agree, approve; to appear, seem (to agree)”)).[1] Related to پسندیدن (pasandidan), Sanskrit छन्द् (chand, “to appear, be pleasing”), and perhaps Ancient Greek κέκασμαι (kékasmai, “to excel”).

The further appurtenance of the Indo-European root *(s)ḱend- is uncertain:
