Etymology
From a hypothetical Middle Persian [script needed] (zywk' /*zīwag/, “mercury”), whence also Classical Syriac ܙܝܘܓ (zīwag). From Middle Persian [script needed] (zy(w)ndk' /zīndag, zīwandāg, zībandāg/, “living”), from [script needed] (zyw /*zīwa-,*zība-/, “live”), from Old Persian 𐎪𐎡𐎺 (ji-i-v /jīva/), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷih₃wós. Compare semantically English quick and quicksilver. Compare the Iranian borrowings: Old Armenian սնդիկ (sndik), Arabic زِئْبَق (ziʔbaq, “mercury”).
