Persian

Iranian Persian
Tajik торик (torik)

Etymology

From Middle Persian [Term?] (/tārīk/), from [Term?] (/tār/, “darkness”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *témHos and whence modern تار‎ (târ), and [Term?] (/-īk/, adjective-deriving suffix), whence modern ی‎ (-i). One of a few adjectives that has preserved the final -g/k phoneme and did not undergo the regular sound change from Middle Persian to Modern Persian. Others include باریک‎ (bârik, “slender”) and نزدیک‎ (nazdik, “near”).
