پوشیدن

Etymology
From, from , probably borrowed from a language. Cheung additionally adduces as a potential cognate; this is unlikely, considering the Sanskrit word's Vedic presence and existence of a plausible Indo-Iranian etymology.

Verb

 * 1) to put on (clothes), to wear
 * 2) to cover

Usage notes
While often translated as "to wear", the Persian verb refers specifically to the action of putting on clothes, whereas the English word refers both to the action and to the state of having clothes on. The Persian equivalent of English "to be wearing" is hence the present perfect of, literally "to have put on".
