Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Indo-Iranian *ȷ́awH- (“to quicken, to hasten, to impel, hurry”),[1] possibly from a Proto-Indo-European root *ǵewH- (“force, drive”). Cognate with Middle Persian [script needed] (zwt' /zūd/) (whence Persian زود (zud, “early”)), Classical Persian زور (zōr, “force, strength”), and Avestan 𐬰𐬆𐬎𐬎𐬍𐬱𐬙𐬌𐬌𐬀 (zəuuīštiia, “quickest”). Possible Indo-European cognates include Old Norse keyra (“drive”) and Proto-Slavic *žurìti (“to rage”).[2]
