  • Inherited from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ʾcydhʾk' /⁠az(i)dahāg⁠/) / Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫀𐫉𐫅𐫍𐫀𐫃 (ʾzdhʾg /⁠azdahāg⁠/), from Avestan 𐬀𐬲𐬌⸱𐬛𐬀𐬵𐬁𐬐𐬀 (aži.dahāka, “Azhi Dahaka”), name of a mythical serpent in Zoroastrianism, from 𐬀𐬲𐬌 (aži, “snake; dragon”), from Proto-Iranian *Háǰiš, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Háǰʰiš, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ógʷʰis, *h₃égʷʰis (“snake”). Compare Manichaean Parthian 𐫀𐫋𐫅𐫍𐫀𐫃 (ʾjdhʾg /⁠aždahāg⁠/) and Old Armenian Աժդահակ (Aždahak).
