پنبه

See also: تنته

Gilaki

Etymology

From Middle Persian pmbk'.

Noun

پنبه (panba)

  1. cotton

Ottoman Turkish

Etymology

Borrowed from Persian پنبه (panbe, cotton), itself from Middle Persian pmbk' and thus a doublet of پاموق (pamuk, cotton). Only the literal meaning "cotton" is attested up to the early 18th century, while the meaning "rosy, pink" is attested later and cannot be reliably justified from the colour of cotton (although there are natural colored varieties of cotton, including pink).

Noun

پنبه • (pembe)

  1. cotton, the vegetal fibers produced by plants of the genus Gossypium
    Synonyms: پاموق (pamuk), قطن (kutn)
  2. (by extension) anything soft, white or unsoiled
  3. pink, a color between red and white

Adjective

پنبه • (pembe)

  1. pink, having a color between red and white
    Synonyms: گلگون (gülgûn), گل رنگ (gülreng)
