Etymology edit
Either a borrowing from a Dravidian language (compare Proto-Dravidian *wariñci (“rice”)) or, according to Witzel, borrowed from an unknown South Asian, possibly Austroasiatic, source such as Proto-Mon-Khmer *sruʔ (“paddy rice”) (whence probably Proto-Sino-Tibetan *b-ras and Proto-Austronesian *bəʀas), with the Dravidian word being an independent borrowing of another variant.[1]
Related words are found in Iranian, Ancient Greek and Semitic. See Middle Persian blnc for more.
