पवस्त

Etymology
From. Cognate with 🇨🇬, whence 🇨🇬. Also compare, a borrowing from Middle Iranian. The Indo-Iranian word most likely traces back to a combination of, the former component from (compare ), and the latter from  (compare ). The form of the former component as प-, rather than the expected अप-, is explained as a preserved archaism from Old Indo-Aryan.

Alternatively, Cheung connects the word to (whence ), deriving both from an unidentified substrate. This is less likely, considering the word's Vedic presence and existence of a plausible Indo-Iranian etymology.
