Rhymes with -aːsˤ
Where it comes from
According to Arabic lexicographic tradition, derived from رَصَّ (raṣṣa, “to stick firmly, to join compactly, to make even or level, to file, to pile, to close”), “due to the interjoining of its parts”, but the metal meaning has been identified by Scher with Persian ارزیز (arzīz, “tin”), which for formal reasons and chronology would have to be specified as a semantic loan from Parthian *arčīč, cognate to Middle Armenian արճիճ (arčič, “lead”), though Fraenkel contended that “to stick firmly” could have led to the metal meaning via the meaning “to solder”.
