Etymology
From Middle Persian 𐭱𐭭 (-išn).
Suffix
ـش • (-eš)
- A rough equivalent of -tion or -ment, appended to the present stem of a verb, resulting in a noun describing the action of that verb.
Usage notes
Present stems ending in a long vowel add ـیـ (-y-) before this suffix, for example the present stem of the verb پالودن (pâludan) being پالای (pâlây), the resulting noun is پالایش (pâlâyeš, “refinement”).
