Etymology edit

From Middle Persian [script needed] (šlwʾl /⁠šalwār⁠/, “trousers”), from Proto-Iranian *šarawāra, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *skelo- (“leg”) + *wero- (“to cover”).

For the first part compare شل (šal, “thigh”) and Old Armenian շար-աւանդ (šar-awand), an Iranian borrowing; for the second part compare Old Armenian վարտիք (vartikʿ), also an Iranian borrowing.

Compare Iranian borrowings: Ancient Greek σαράβαρα (sarábara, “Scythian loose trousers”), σαράβαλλα (saráballa), Latin sarabala, sarabāra, Biblical Aramaic (Daniel) and Jewish Babylonian Aramaic סַרְבָּלָא (sarbālā, “trousers; a type of outer garment”), Classical Syriac ܫܪܒܠܐ (šarbālā, “trousers”), ܫܪܘܠܐ du (šarwālē, “leggings”), Classical Mandaic ࡔࡀࡓࡅࡀࡋࡀ (šaruala, “trousers”), Arabic سِرْوَال (sirwāl), سِرْبَال (sirbāl), شِرْوَال (širwāl) (dialectal), شَرْوَال (šarwāl) (modern), سِرْوَل (sirwal), سِرْوِيل (sirwīl).
