Etymology

The origin counts as unknown.[1][2]

Nor baṙgirkʿ haykazean lezui connects with քուրձ (kʻurj, sackcloth)[3] – the consonant variation finds its counterpart in Semitic cognates of this word, see there, and is explainable with Iranian origin, compare the relations of գանձ (ganj, treasure).

Note also Ingush къурд(а) (qʼurd(a), rags; saddlecloth).
