Persian
Etymology
Has been explained as coming from در (dar, “door”) + واز (wāz, “open”), with the later word واز (wāz) (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”).
