कारवाँ

/kɑːɾ.ʋɑ̃ː/ Hindi, Standard
[käːɾ.ʋä̃ː] Hindi, Standard

Where it comes from

* Borrowed from Classical Persian کاروان (kārwān), from Middle Persian [script needed] (kʾlwʾn' /⁠kārawān⁠/), from Old Persian 𐎣𐎠𐎼 (k-a-r /⁠kāra-⁠/, “the people, army”), from Proto-Indo-European *ker- (“army”). Doublet of कारज़ार (kārzār) > Persian کارزار (kārzār), from same Proto-Indo-European root.

* Sense as “caravan (vehicle)” from the phono-semantic matching of English caravan (also a cognate).
