emerald – WehrCowan1979.
conc
▪ Perh from Grk smáragdos ‘emerald (or other green gem)’, via Pers. Some theories trace the word back also to the Sem root *BRQ ‘lightning; to shine, glitter, flash’, in which case it would be akin to Ar ↗barq ‘lightning’.

DRS 8 (1999)#ZMRGD-b: For Brockelmann (ZDMG 65 (1911): 146), zumurrud derives from ↗zabarǧad. CDG 639 thinks it is of Pers origin, but for Steingass 621, zumurrud is genuinely Ar.
▪ Rolland2014a: »Peut-être du Grk smáragdos ‘émeraude ou autre pierre verte’, via le Pers. Pour Chantraine, le mot grec résulte d’un ‘emprunt oriental certain’. Pour Nişanyan, le Pers zumurrud ou zumrūd vient de l’Aram zmaragdā et est apparanté au Pers zabarǧad ‘chrysolite, topaze’ [loaned into Ar, ↗zabarǧad ]. On a aussi évoqué une lointaine parenté de ces deux mots avec la racine Sem *BRQ ‘briller’, Akk barraqtu, ainsi que le Skr marakata, qui tous deux désignent l’émeraude. On voit qu’il s’agit d’un mot voyageur dont il est difficile de déterminer le cheminement historique.«
