Etymology

[edit]

From Middle Persian to picture, to color (ngštn' /⁠nigāštan⁠/), seems to be a compound. If so, the elements are most likely from either Proto-Indo-Iranian *ní (downwards, into, carefully) or Proto-Indo-European *h₂en- (up, on, onto) and Middle Persian *gāštan-, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kr̥náwti (to do, make, construct).
