مردقوش

Arabic

مَرْدَقُوش

Alternative forms

مَرْدَدُوش (mardadūš), بَرْدَقُوش (bardaqūš)

Etymology

From Classical Syriac ܡܪܕܓܫ (mardaguš, “marjoram”), derived from Middle Persian [script needed] (mlcngwš /⁠marzangōš⁠/, “marjoram”), which itself was borrowed directly in the more classical form مَرْزَنْجُوش (marzanjūš), also as Middle Armenian մարզանգոշ (marzangoš). The first element [script needed] (mlc' /⁠marw⁠/) is easily identified as a generic term for any herb, compare Sanskrit मरुव (maruva, “marjoram”), a term which is actually witnessed by Arabic مَرْو (marw, “odoriferous plants herbs; Maerua; pebbles; flints; quartz”).
