Persian

Etymology

May be the Aramaic בֻּסְרָא‎ (busrā) / בּוּסְרָא‎ (busrā) / ܒܣܪܐ‎ (*busrā, “unripe grape”), elsewhere known as Slavic бисер / biser “pearl”, with typical Persian consonant switch as in شمشار‎ (šimšār) → شمشاد‎ (šimšād, “box”). But compare بستام‎ (bistām, “coral”), also a known form.
