Etymology

From Middle Persian [script needed] (šustan /HLLWN-tn'/), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *k⁽ʷ⁾sewd-.

The literary present stem شوی‎ (šuy) is directly from Middle Persian [script needed] (šōy /šwy-/); the colloquial present stem شور‎ (šur) is because of the verb being conflated with the synonymous verb شوریدن‎ (šuridan). Compare Gilaki شوردن‎ (šurdən), Mazanderani شوردن‎ (šurdan).

Pronunciation

  • (Tajik) IPA(key): /ʃusˈtan/
