"پهلوی" meaning in Persian

See پهلوی in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: [pah.la.ˈwiː] [Classical-Persian], [pʰäɦ.lä.wíː] [Dari, formal], [pʰäɦ.lä.wíː] [Dari, formal], [pʰɑː.lä.wíː] [Kabuli], [pʰɔː.lä.wí] (note: Hazaragi), [pʰæɦ.læ.víː] [Iran, formal], [pʰäɦ.lä.ví] [Tajik, formal] Forms: pahlavi [romanization]
Etymology: From Middle Persian 𐫛𐫍𐫓𐫇𐫀𐫗𐫏𐫃 (phlwʾnyg /⁠pahlawīg⁠/, “Parthian”), ultimately from Old Persian 𐎱𐎼𐎰𐎺 (p-r-θ-v /⁠Parθavaʰ⁠/, “Parthia”). In the time of the Islamic conquest, Pahlawīg referred specifically to the Parthian language, as opposed to Pārsīg, literary Middle Persian, and Darīg, the vernacular descendant of Pārsīg which would become New Persian. But with the revival of Persian literature in the tenth century, both پارسی (pārsī) and دری (darī) came to refer to the same New Persian language written in Arabic script. As a result, Middle Persian was now also called پهلوی (pahlawī), which came to mean "pre-Islamic language of Iran". In practice, this usually refers to Middle Persian if without any further specification. پهلو (pahlaw, literally “Parthian”) was also affected by this semantic shift, so that by surface analysis, the word is now پهلو (pahlav, “ancient hero”) + ـی (-i): the language of the pre-Islamic heroes.

But with the revival of Persian literature in the tenth century, both پارسی (pārsī) and دری (darī) came to refer to the same New Persian language written in Arabic script. As a result, Middle Persian was now also called پهلوی (pahlawī), which came to mean \"pre-Islamic language of Iran\". In practice, this usually refers to Middle Persian if without any further specification.\nپهلو (pahlaw, literally “Parthian”) was also affected by this semantic shift, so that by surface analysis, the word is now پهلو (pahlav, “ancient hero”) + ـی (-i): the language of the pre-Islamic heroes.",
