طليعة

Where it comes from

The singular is back-formed from the plural which is a phono-semantic matching from Middle Persian after the root ط ل ع (ṭ l ʕ), retained in Classical Persian as تلایه (talāya), ترایه (tarāya), from Maharastri Prakrit तलाय m (talāya, “city police”), in Sanskrit तलारक्ष (talārakṣa), तलवर (talavara, “bodyguard”).
