خرشوف

Arabic

خُرْشُوف

Alternative forms

• خُرْشُف (ḵuršuf) — basilectal

Etymology

Connections to Akkadian 𒅈𒋢𒌒𒁍 (arsuppu, “a type of cereal with a braid appearance; an unidentified type of apple or produce”, literally “carp fish, scales”), so applied from the appearance of its head.

Or, perhaps from Middle Persian *xār-čōp (literally “thorn stick”), from [script needed] (hʾl /⁠xār⁠/, “thorn”) + [script needed] (cwp /⁠čōb, čōp⁠/) equalling modern Persian خار (xâr)) + چوب (čôb), چوپ (čôp, “stick”).
