সফেদ

• সুফেদ (śuphed)

Borrowed from Classical Persian سفید‎, from earlier سپید‎ (saped), from Middle Persian spyt' (spēd, “white”), from Proto-Iranian *cwaytáh (compare Avestan 𐬯𐬞𐬀𐬉𐬙𐬀‎ (spaēta, “white”), Sogdian [script needed] (ʾspʾyt)), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćwaytás, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱweytós (“bright; shine”) (compare Old Church Slavonic свѣтъ (světŭ), Old English hwīt (“white”)). Cognate with Arabic سِبِيدَاج‎ (sibīdāj) and Ottoman Turkish اوستبج‎ (üstübec). Doublet of শ্বেত (śśet).

The meaning of sapodilla or sapota was borrowed from Portuguese sapota.
