See Pashto in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈpæʃtəʊ/, /ˈpʌʃtəʊ/ Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-Pashto.wav [Southern-England]
Etymology: Borrowed from Pashto پښتو (paẍto). Most likely derived from Old Iranian *Parsuwā, with the basic stem *Parsū-; closely related to *Parθaʰ (“Parthian”) and Old Persian 𐎱𐎠𐎼𐎿 (p-a-r-s /⁠Pārsaʰ⁠/, “Persian”), both from the earlier *Parsūa-, probably meaning "border or borderland" (in contrast to Media, meaning "central land"); cf. (Pāṇini) Sanskrit पर्शु (parśu, “a (northwestern) warrior tribe”) and Late Babylonian 𒌓𒍪 (par-sú, “Persian”).
