Etymology[edit]

Inherited from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ʾšwptn' /⁠āšuftan⁠/), derived with the preverb *aH- from the root Proto-Iranian *xšawb- (to rustle, tremble), from Proto-Indo-European *k⁽ʷ⁾sewbʰ- (to rock, tremble). Cognate with Sanskrit क्षुभ् (kṣubh, to shake, be agitated), Proto-Germanic *skeubaną (to push, drive), Lithuanian skùbti (to start to hurry), Proto-Slavic *xybàti (to sway). Note the Iranian borrowings: Old Armenian ապշոպ (apšop), շփոթ (špʻotʻ), Old Georgian შფოთი (špoti).
