Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Indo-Iranian *páćšma, from Proto-Indo-European *poḱ-s-mn̥ (“hair, whiskers”), from *peḱ- (“to shear, pluck”). Cognate with Avestan 𐬞𐬀𐬱𐬨𐬀𐬥 (pašman), Persian پشم (pašm, “wool”), Old English feax (“hair of the head”) (whence English fax).
This term underwent a great deal of alteration in the late Old Indo-Aryan and early Middle Indo-Aryan stage.
