رخت
Arabic edit
Etymology 1 edit
Surely borrowed, considered even by the medievals as from Persian رَخْت (raxt). Though the term be explainable from an Aramaic descendant of Proto-Semitic *raḥat- (“flat inner of the hand”) used transferredly for various flat tools, had the Arabic been borrowed directly thence it would probably have become **رَحْت (**raḥt).
Noun edit
رَخْت • (raḵt) m (plural رُخُوت (ruḵūt)) (Syria, Iraq)
- apparatus, goods and chattels of a household
- apparel, vestment, plumage (including of a bird)
- rugs, blankets, even horse blankets

Etymology 1 edit
According to Bailey, from the root Proto-Iranian *rak- (“to prepare clothes”), from Proto-Indo-European *rek-, whence Sanskrit रच् (rac, “to make, fashion”). Cognate with Middle Persian [script needed] (lyhtk /raxtak/, “clothes”), Khotanese [script needed] (raha-, “dress”) and the Chinese 絡鞮／络鞮 (luòdī, “Iranian shoes”).
The meaning “right, true” is contaminated from راست (râst) due to the idea of a correctly furnitured house.
