Etymology

[edit]

From خود (xod, self) +‎ ارضایی (erzâi, satisfaction), perhaps after German Selbstbefriedigung.

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “The German is a perfect semantic match and given the importance of German in early psychological literature the influence is plausible. But we'd need the earliest Persian attestation. If it's older than +/- 1900, it would be less likely.”
