"ملخ" meaning in Persian

See ملخ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ma.ˈlax] [Classical-Persian], [mä.lǽx] [Dari, formal], [mä.lǽx] [Dari, formal], [mä.lǽx] [Kabuli], [mä.lǽx] (note: Hazaragi), [mæ.lǽx] [Iran, formal], [mä.lǽχ] [Tajik, formal] Forms: malax [romanization], ملخها [plural]
Etymology: From Middle Persian *malax (written as Pazend 𐬨𐬀𐬮𐬀𐬐 (malak)), borrowed from Bactrian μαλαχο (malaxo), from Proto-Iranian *madaxa, itself probably related to Sanskrit मटची (maṭacī, “locust”). Compare Avestan 𐬨𐬀𐬜𐬀𐬑𐬀 (maδaxa, “grasshopper”), Baluchi مدگ (madag), مذغ (maδaγ), Pashto ملخ (malax, “locust”), Old Armenian loanword մարախ (marax), Ossetian мӕтых (mætyx), Khwarezmian مثخ (mθx). The inherited Southwestern Iranian form is میگ (meyg) (> میگو (meygu, “shrimp, prawn”)); the wide phonetic variation in the word's relatives is induced by the taboo of the inauspicious locust.
