بهرج

Arabic

Etymology

From Middle Persian equalling Persian بهره (bahra, “profit, advantage, fortune, happiness, prosperity”) and denominal verb, resulting from clipping of نَبَهْرَج (nabahraj, “phoney”); less likely augmented from ب ه ر (b h r) / بَهَرَ (bahara, “to allure; to shine; to illuminate”); perhaps a Persian stem and this Arabic root mutually interfered semantically in either language.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /bah.rad͡ʒ/
