Etymology

From Old Persian 𐎰𐎼𐎭 ‎(θard-, θarad-, “year”), from Proto-Iranian [Term?] (compare Avestan 𐬯𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬜𐬀 ‎(sarəδa, “year”), Ossetian сӕрд ‎(særd, “summer”)), from Proto-Indo-Iranian [Term?] (compare Sanskrit शरद् ‎(śarad, “year”)). Compare the second component of Old Armenian loanwords նաւա-սարդ ‎(nawa-sard), երիտա-սարդ ‎(erita-sard), աւ-սարդ ‎(aw-sard).

Logogram from Aramaic 𐡔𐡍𐡕 ‎(šnt, “year”).
