Etymology: A Middle Iranian borrowing within the relatives of Old Armenian երէզ (erēz, “band, bandage”), with the sports meaning in Old Armenian ասպարէզ (asparēz, “racecourse, stadium; stadion”), Jewish Literary Aramaic בֵית רֵיסָא (bēṯ rēsā, “racecourse, stadium”), deformed Classical Syriac ܒܝܬ ܪܗܛܐ (bēṯ rehṭā, “racecourse, stadium”). The development of the meaning of an eyelash may be recognized further in Arabic رِمْش (rimš, “eyelash”), and typologically Old Armenian կոպ (kop, “eyelid”) compares against Georgian კოპი (ḳoṗi, “leather-thong; satin-embroidered headband on which the veil of a woman is attached”).
