Etymology

From Middle Persian *dār-i-čēnīk (literally Chinese tree), ultimately a combination of Old Persian 𐎭𐎠𐎽𐎢𐎺 (d-a-ru-u-v, tree) + Sanskrit चीन (cīna, China) + -𐎡𐎣 (-i-k, adjectival suffix, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *-ikas). Note also from the same source are Jewish Babylonian Aramaic דַּרְצִינִי (darṣīnī, cinnamon), Classical Syriac ܕܪܨܝܢܝ (dārṣīnī), ܨܝܢܕܪܓ (ṣīndreḡ, cinnamon) and Old Armenian դարիճենիկ (daričenik, cinnamon).
