Etymology edit

Borrowed from an unattested Iranian descendant of Proto-Iranian *sauč- (to burn), whence Avestan 𐬯𐬀𐬊𐬗- (saoc-), Parthian 𐫘𐫇𐫝- (swc-), Persian سوختن (suxtan, to burn), Ossetian судзын (suʒyn, to burn; to kindle), because resinous pinewood is easily kindled.[1][2] For the semantics compare մարխ (marx).

The form շոճ(ի) (šoč(i)) arose due to assimilation, on which see պատշաճ (patšač).[3]

Noun edit

սոճի (soči)

  1. pine, Pinus
