Etymology

[edit]
لاجورد بدخشی

    Usually considered to be from the place name لاژورد (Lāžvard) in Badakhshan where the stone was mined.

    The first component, لاژ, is from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰelh₃- (green) and cognate to Old Irish glas.

    But according to Bailey, the second component goes back to Proto-Iranian *varta- (stone) and is cognate with Wakhi wurt (stone), Northern Kurdish ber (stone), Central Kurdish بەرد (berd, stone), Northern Luri بٱرد (bard, stone), Khotanese [script needed] (ūḍāra-, crystal), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *wel- (to press together), for which Pokorny cites Ancient Greek εἴλω (eílō, to roll up, pack close), Latin vulgus (the public; a crowd), and Proto-Slavic *vȃlъ (roll; wave; barrage, heap) as cognates.
