editEtymology
editFrom Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (bwlk' /*bōrag/), a term merely suffixed from the adjective [Book Pahlavi needed] (bwl /bōr/) becoming modern بور (bur, “red, bay; blond”) by reason that borax, traded as tincal in its crude state and of but scarce natural deposits, before the modern production by means of induced chemical reaction, was obtained by dint of evaporation from certain lagoons in which it was dissolved with impurities.
For the formation of the Middle Iranian term compare Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (*bwlyk' /bōrīg/) behind بوری (buri, “blond”), and for its presence Old Armenian բորակ (borak), բարակ (barak), Georgian ბორაკი (boraḳi), Classical Syriac ܒܽܘܪܟܳܐ (burkā), ܒܘܿܪܩܵܐ (bōrqā), Arabic بَوْرَق (bawraq).
