See کاواک in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [kɑː.wɑːk] [Classical-Persian], [kʰɑː.wɑːk] [Dari, formal], [kʰɑː.wɑːk] [Dari, formal], [kʰɑː.wɑːk] [Kabuli], [kʰɔː.wɔːk] (note: Hazaragi), [kʰɒː.vɒːkʲ] [Iran, formal], [kʰɔ.vɔk] [Tajik, formal] Forms: kâvâk [romanization]
Etymology: From کاو (kâv, present stem of کاویدن (kâvidan, “to burrow, to dig, to search deeply, to investigate”)) + ـاک (-âk, suffix that forms the active participle from the present verb stem). The suffix is an alternative form of ـا (-â), which originates from Middle Persian -ʾk' (/⁠-āg⁠/). Refer to خوراک (xorâk, “food”) for another example of a word that ends this alternative form of ـا (-â), and to گویا (gôyâ, “capable of speech”) or رسا (resâ, “audible”) for examples of words that ends in the standard form of the suffix. Alternatively, it may be from Turkic.
