Etymology

From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (šmšʾl /šimšār/), borrowed from Classical Syriac ܫܡܫܪܐ‎ (šemšārā, šamšārā), ܫܡܫܛ‎ (šemšaṭ, “boxwood”), or perhaps the other way around, ultimately of uncertain origin. Cognate with Akkadian 𒅆𒈨𒌍𒊭𒇻𒌋 (ši-meš-ša-lu-u /šimeššalû/), 𒋆𒊭𒇻𒌋 (šim-ša-lu-u /šimšalû, šimšallu/, “a tree; potentially boxwood”).
