Persian edit

Etymology edit

From Middle Persian [script needed] (tʾšytn /⁠tāšīdan⁠/, to cut, cleave), with intrusive -r- from contamination with خراشیدن (xarâšidan, to scratch), from Proto-Iranian *tā́šti (to cut), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *tā́ćšti, from Proto-Indo-European *tetḱ- (to create; to cut). Cognate with Sanskrit ताष्टि (tāṣṭi, to cut; to carve), Russian теса́ть (tesátʹ, to cut; to hew), Latin texō (to pleat; to weave), Ancient Greek τέχνη (tékhnē, art, craft).[1]
