Etymology

[edit]

Owning the lack of Semitic cognates and the narrow meaning, probably denominal from فَخْر (faḵr, boast), the originally most common word in the root formula, borrowed from a descendant Proto-Iranian *huHarnā́h (splendour, glory), although it could stand in variation with ف ح ش (f-ḥ-š) as حَفَرَ (ḥafara) with حَفَشَ (ḥafaša).

Root

[edit]

ف خ ر (f-ḵ-r)

  1. related to vainglory
