Etymology

From Middle Persian [Term?] (/⁠ayād⁠/), from Proto-Iranian *Habí- + *yáH- (probably from Proto-Indo-European *yeh₂- (“to go; to go in, to enter”), with Iranian semantic shift "to enter [the mind]" > "to remember"). Compare Tocharian A [Term?] (opyāc, “in remembrance”), probably borrowed from an Eastern Iranian language.
