پرستیدن

Persian

Etymology

Inherited from Middle Persian plstytn' (paristīdan, to serve; to worship; to minister in a ritual), from Proto-Iranian *pari- (around, peri-) + *staH- (to place, set, stand). The former prefix is from Proto-Indo-Iranian *pári, from Proto-Indo-European *péri, and the latter is from Proto-Indo-Iranian *stáH-, from Proto-Indo-European *steh₂- (to stand).

Related to Old Armenian պաշտեմ (paštem), an Iranian borrowing.
