Etymology 2

From Middle Persian 𐮅𐮍𐮎𐮈 (wspy), from Old Persian 𐎻𐎿𐎱 (vi-s-p /⁠vispa⁠/), a borrowing from Old Median [Term?] (/⁠*vispa⁠/). Inherited from Proto-Iranian *wícwah (“all, every; whole”), Proto-Indo-Iranian *wíćwas (“all, every”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(h₁)wiḱ/wo-.

Perhaps influenced from the Book Pahlavi script; >wisp >*gisp/t >*gišp/t >gišt.

Cognate with Parthian 𐭅𐭉𐭎𐭐 (wysp /⁠wisp⁠/), Sogdian 𐫇𐫏𐫘𐫛 (wysp /⁠wisp⁠/), Bactrian οισπο (oispo /⁠wīsp⁠/), Old Persian 𐎻𐎿 (vi-s /⁠visa⁠/), and Avestan 𐬬𐬍𐬯𐬞𐬀 (vīspa).
