Etymology edit
Inherited from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ʾlwnd /arwand/, “swift, valiant; name of a river (literally "swift river"), perhaps the Tigris”), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hárwants (“fast, quick; a racehorse, courser”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ér-went-s, from *h₃er- (“to move (swiftly), to spring”). Cognate with Sanskrit अर्वन्त् (árvant), Avestan 𐬀𐬎𐬭𐬎𐬎𐬀𐬧𐬙 (auruuaṇt).

- بدین چوب شد روزگارم به سر
ز سیمرغ وز رستم چارهگر
فسونها و نیرنگها زال ساخت
که اروند و بند جهان او شناخت- bad-īn čōb šud rōzgār-am ba sar
zi sēmurğ w-az rustam-i čāra-gar
fusūn-hā u nayrang-hā zāl sāxt
ki arwand u band-i jahān ō šināxt - My days were cut short by this piece of wood,
From the Simorgh and the wily Rustam.
It was Zāl who had woven spells and charms,
For he knew the grandeurs and the snares of the world.
