"سست" meaning in Persian

See سست in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: [sust] [Classical-Persian], [sʊst̪] [Dari, formal], [sʊst̪] [Dari, formal], [sʊst̪] [Kabuli], [sust̪] (note: Hazaragi), [sost̪] [Iran, formal], [sust̪] [Tajik, formal] Forms: sost [romanization], سستتَر [comparative], سستتَرین [superlative]
Etymology: From Middle Persian [script needed] (swst' /⁠sust⁠/, “slack, lazy”), Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫘𐫇𐫘𐫤 (sust, “soft, slack, lax”). Cognate with Northern Kurdish sist (“weak, powerless, limp; loose, slipshod, slack”), Talysh сыс (sıs, “weak”), Sanglechi sust (“lazy”), Khwarezmian [script needed] (swst, “low, contemptible”). Perhaps ultimately from Proto-Iranian *θrusta- (“pressed forth”), from Proto-Indo-European *trewd- (“to push, thrust”), whence Old English þrēotan (“to weary”). Compare Old Armenian շուշտ (šušt), possibly an Iranian borrowing.
