"زعفران" meaning in Arabic

See زعفران in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /zaʕ.fa.raːn/
Etymology: Borrowed from Aramaic צפר with unattested -ān ending, compare زَعْتَر (zaʕtar, “wild thyme”) and juxtapose عُصْفُر (ʕuṣfur) for a native form from أَصْفَر (ʔaṣfar, “yellow”) of the root ص ف ر (ṣ-f-r). A Middle Iranian borrowing is also maintained, which invites comparison with Persian جعفری (ja'fari, “parsley”).
