دروازه

From Persian دروازه‎ (darvâze).

دروازه • (darwāzə)

1. doorway

• Raverty, H. G. (1867), “دروازه”, in A dictionary of the Puk'hto, Pus'hto, or language of the Afghans: with remarks on the originality of the language, and its affinity to other oriental tongues, London: Williams & Nortgate

Has been explained as coming from در‎ (dar, “door”) +‎ واز‎ (vâz, “open”), with the later word واز‎ (vâz) (Archaic in Iranian Persian) coming from Middle Persian 𐫀𐫁𐫀𐫝‎ (ʾbʾc /abāz/, “back, again, re-”).

Though it may have other origins, compare similar words in Semitic: Akkadian 𒉣𒇬 (/tarbāṣu/, “cowshed; courtyard”), Aramaic תַּרְחִּיצָא‎ (tarbīṣā) / תַּרְחָּצָא (ṭarbāṣā) / ܬܰܪܒܳܨܳܐ‎ (ṭarbāṣā, “courtyard”), Ugaritic 𐎚𐎗𐎁𐎕 (trbṣ, “stable”), which is a formation that belongs to the Proto-Semitic verb *rabaṣ́- used for the sitting of an animal, on which root see Arabic ر ب ض‎ (r-b-ḍ).

Possibly connected to Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (dlpʾs /darbās/, “palace”) and the Iranian borrowings: Old Armenian դարպաս (darpas), դարապաս (darapas), Georgian დარბაზი (darbazi, “palace”).
