Proto-Slavic

*kotьlì i skovorda

Etymology

Likely borrowed from the Ancient Greek or Iranian source of Old Armenian սկաւառակ (skawaṙak, “saucer, plate”), which probably represents Iranian *skavarid-ak, containing the well-known suffix -ակ (-ak). Compare Persian ‎ (sukôra, “earthen dish, saucer”), Ancient Greek σκευάριον (skeuárion), σκευαρίδιον (skeuarídion, “small vessel”).[1] Also found in Lithuanian skarvadà (“frying pan”).

frying pan
