Etymology

Bailey derives from Proto-Iranian *čak- (be pointed, horned) (compare Khotanese [script needed] (cakurīka-, wood sorrel), Persian چکش (čakoš, hammer)), from Proto-Indo-European *kek-, *kenk-, *keg-, *keng- (be pointed; hook, peg), on which see Pokorny.[1][2]

An improbable origin from Old Armenian ճակնդեղ (čakndeł) has also been suggested.

Cognate with Kurdish çewender, چەوەندەر (çewender), Gurani چۆنڎەری (čōnḓarī), Talysh чәғынде (beet); çəğınde, Northern Kurdish çarkindêle (beet; carrot) and the Iranian borrowings: Old Armenian ճակնդեղ (čakndeł, beet), Old Georgian ჭაკუნტელი (č̣aḳunṭeli), Chinese 莙薘莙荙 (jūndá, chard).
