Etymology 1 edit
From Middle Persian slʾd (srāy, “hall, house”), from Old Persian *srāda, from Proto-Iranian *thrāya (“to protect”), from Proto-Indo-European *trā-yo-, suffixed form of *terh₂- (“to cross over”).[1]
Compare Old Armenian սրահ (srah, “hall; curtain”), սրահակ (srahak, “curtain”), Judeo-Persian סראה (srāh, “vestibule”), Arabic سُرَادِق (surādiq, “awning, tent; pavilion, canopy”), and Classical Mandaic ࡎࡓࡃࡒࡀ (sradqā, “pavilion, canopy; curtain”), all borrowed from Iranian.
