Etymology 1 edit
Borrowed from Parthian nʾz (nāz, “pleasure, delight”) or inherited from Middle Persian [script needed] (nʾz- /nāz-/, “to take pleasure, to delight”, whence the verb نازیدن (nâzidan)), both from Proto-Iranian *nāz- (“to be coquettish”). No Indo-European etymology per Cheung 2007.

- تا سر نکنم در سرت ای مایهٔ ناز
کوته نکنم ز دامنت دست نیاز
هرچند که راهم به تو دورست و دراز
در راه بمیرم و نگردم ز تو باز- tā sar na-kunam dar sar-at ay māyi-yi nāz
kōtah na-kunam zi dāman-at dast-i niyāz
harčand ki rāh-am bi tu dūr ast u darāz
dar rāh bimīram u na-gardam zi tu bāz - Till I thrust myself at your side, o essence of coyness,
I shall not withdraw the hand of supplication from your skirt;
Though my road to you is distant and long,
I shall die on the road, and not turn away from you again.
- tā sar na-kunam dar sar-at ay māyi-yi nāz
- fondling; ogling
- (archaic) luxury; comfort; delight
