In Persian we have an old word which is even used today called “Roozi”. It is a combination of “Rooz” + “i”. The main part translates to “day” and this word refers to what you need to live for a day. It’s also used in prayers which asks God to provide us with what we need to live for the day.
This word instantly reminded me of that but I don’t know if they are conceptually related or not.
- gremloni 5y agoInteresting, that’s in Hindi too. Probably straight from Persian.
- thisistheend123 5y agoWe can find its reference in 'navroz' as well. I guess, the 'roz' comes from 'Rooz'.
- geraneum 5y agoExactly, that’s it. Also the first part “nav” or “no” means “new”. So the compound noun means “new day” which marks the first day of spring.
