نگاشتن

Persian

Etymology

From Middle Persian ngštn' (nigāštan, to picture, to color), seems to be a compound. If so, the elements are most likely from either Proto-Indo-Iranian * (downwards, into, carefully) or Proto-Indo-European *h₂en- (up, on, onto) and Middle Persian *gāštan-, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kr̥náwti (to do, make, construct).
