پسند

Persian

Inherited from Middle Persian [script needed] (psnd /⁠passand⁠/), from Proto-Iranian *pati- (“towards”, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *práti-, from Proto-Indo-European *préti) + *sand (“to look good”, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *sčand (“to look good”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ḱend- (“to agree, approve; to appear, seem (to agree)”)).[1] Related to (pasandidan), Sanskrit छन्द् (chand, “to appear, be pleasing”), and perhaps Ancient Greek κέκασμαι (kékasmai, “to excel”).

The further appurtenance of the Indo-European root *(s)ḱend- is uncertain:

per Cheung, related to *ḱens- (“to announce”), whence Latin cēnseō (“to give an opinion”).[1]
per de Vaan, related to *(s)kand- (“to shine, glow”), whence Latin candeō (“to shine, glow”), incendō (“to set on fire”), Sanskrit चन्द्र (candra, “shining; moon”).[2]

(Dari, formal) IPA^(key): [pʰä.sǽn̪d̪]
- (Kabuli) IPA^(key): [pʰä.sǽn̪d̪]
- (Hazaragi) IPA^(key): [pʰä.sǽn̪d̪̥]
