دردار

Where it comes from

From Classical Syriac ܕܕܪܐ (daddārā, “elm, oak”), from Middle Persian 𐫅𐫀𐫡 (dʾr /⁠dār⁠/, “tree, gallows; wood”), from Proto-Iranian *dā́ru (“tree”); cognate with Persian دردار (dardâr, “elm”).

False cognate with Akkadian 𒌑𒁕𒁕𒊒 (/⁠daddaru⁠/, “a thorny plant, thistle; ill tasting or smelling plant”), Hebrew דַּרְדַר (dardar, “thistle”), Aramaic דַּרְדָּרָא (dardārā, “thistle”), Classical Syriac ܕܪܕܪܐ (dardərā, “thistle”), Arabic دَرْدَر (dardar, “thistle”), Ge'ez ደንደር (dändär, “thistle”), Amharic ደንደር (dändär, “thistle”), which are ultimately from Proto-Semitic *drr (“to give difficulty, to be too hard to handle, to be uneasy or unpleasant, to be overwhelming”)
