Etymology

From Middle Persian [script needed] (plydʾt' /⁠frayād⁠/, “help; succor”) (with semantic shifts “help” > “cry for help” > “shout; cry”), from Proto-Iranian *fra- (“pro-”) + *yat- (“to go, reach, approach, take position”), the latter from *yat- (“to reach, take position”), from Proto-Indo-European *yet- (“to bring, conform, support”) and cognate with Central Kurdish فریا (firya), Sanskrit यत् (yat, “to line up, take up a position, place in order”), Latin nītor (“support oneself, brace oneself”), Tocharian A yät- (“to adorn”), Ancient Greek ὅσιος (hósios, “just, fair”).
