Abstract :
At present, in the Persian language, there are words derived from the Old Farsi, and Avestai language. These words have been changed in turn through Parthian and Sassanid Pahlavi language sometimes in two or three forms before they reached us. In Persian lexicons after Islam however, due to lack of understanding their ethymologies, each word has been used as an independent one and none of lexicographers has ever pointed to the fact that they all come from one origin. At most, some regarded them as synonyms. The purpose of this article is to introduce a number of these words ethymologically. It is believed that the study of the origin and development of these words is beneficial both for Farsi language instructors and the post-graduate students.
