آباد

Arabic

Noun

آبَاد • (ʾābād) m pl

  1. plural of أَبَد‎ (ʾabad)

Persian

Etymology

From Middle Persian ʾp̄ʾt' (ābād, “populous, thriving, prosperous”). Per Lubotsky, from Common Iranian *āpāta-, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *peh₂- (“to protect”), whence also پاییدن‎ (pâyidan). Compare also Old Armenian ապատ (apat) and անապատ (anapat).
Commonly compared to Sanskrit आवास (ā-vāsa, “abode, residence, dwelling”), which is most likely from वसति (vasati, “to dwell, live, stop, stay”).
