/ʔaːr.ˈmaːn/, /ʔar.ˈmaːn/, [ʔɑːɾ.mɑ́ːn]
ریشهAccording to Henning and Herzenberg, probably borrowed from Proto-Sogdic *rmn.
According to Herzenberg, probably related to the Old Avestan root *ar (“to move, set in motion”), which is ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₃er- (whence English run), and unrelated to English arm, Gothic 𐌰𐍂𐌼𐌰𐌽 (arman), and Vandalic *arman, which are ultimately from *h₂er-.
Another explanation is a connection to Parthian [script needed] (frmnywg), which Henning derives from Avestan 𐬟𐬭𐬀𐬨𐬀𐬥𐬀𐬵 (framanah).
Unrelated to ارمن (arman, “Armenia”).
- ideal, will, goal
- hope, desire
- obsoletesorrow, grief
“خواهد شدن از تن نظر جان زایل
ناگشته بجز حسرت و ارمان حاصل” — The view of my soul/beloved will be erased from my flesh,
For I have gained naught but longing and grief.
