Etymology

From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (šmšʾl /⁠šimšār⁠/), borrowed from Classical Syriac ܫܡܫܪܐ (šemšārā, šamšārā), ܫܡܫܛ (šemšaṭ, boxwood), or perhaps the other way around, ultimately of uncertain origin. Cognate with Akkadian 𒅆𒈨𒌍𒊭𒇻𒌋 (ši-meš-ša-lu-u /⁠šimeššalû⁠/), 𒋆𒊭𒇻𒌋 (šim-ša-lu-u /⁠šimšalû, šimšallu⁠/, a tree; potentially boxwood).

Noun

شمشاد (šemšâd) (plural شمشادها (šemšâd-hâ))
