درونه

Persian

Alternative forms

(doronicum): درونک‎ (darunak, dorunak)

Etymology

Attested as Manichaean Middle Persian [script needed] (drwng /drōnag/, “rainbow”), but without Middle Iranian attestation in the sense of leopardsbane which has been borrowed as Classical Syriac ܕܪܘܢܓ‎ (drwng) and Arabic دَرَوْنَج‎ (darawnaj), uncertain whether it is a distinct word; the rainbow meaning at least is from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (dlwn' /drōn/, “bow”) which is found in Modern Persian as ‎ (darun, “inside, interior”).
