Etymology
Related to Kermanic [script needed] (tü),[1] Mazanderani [script needed] (tir),[2] [script needed] (tīr),[3] Khwarezmian [script needed] (twt)[4], Wakhi tыt, tыẟ,[5] Munji tūy,[6] Parachi tī,[7] Waneci [script needed] (tūwa, təwā)[8], Sanskrit तूत (tūta), तूद (tūda),[9] Kashmiri तूल् (tūl), تُل (tul), Oriya ତୁଳ (tuḷô) etc., all meaning mulberry. The direction of borrowing between the Iranian and Indo-Aryan words is disputed.[10][11][12]
The ultimate origin is unknown.
Found also in Semitic and the languages of the Caucasus, likely borrowed from Iranian: Aramaic תותא / ܬܘܬܐ (tūṯā), Hebrew תּוּת (tūṯ), Neo-Babylonian 𒄑𒌅𒌓𒌈 (/tuttu/), Arabic تُوت (tūt); Old Armenian թութ (tʿutʿ), Georgian თუთა (tuta, “mulberry”).
