Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗Of or pertaining to the Tajiks. · Of, from, or pertaining to Tajikistan. · Of or relating to Tajiki Persian.
A member of the Persian-speaking people living mainly in Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.
The Persian dialect spoken by Tajiks in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
From Classical Persian تاجیک (tājīk, “non-Turk (of Central Asia)”) (akin to تازی (tāzī), تازیک (tāzīk)), (ultimately) from Middle Persian tʾcyk' (tāzīg, “Arab”), (ultimately) from Arabic طَيِّئ (ṭayyiʔ, “name of an Arab clan”). See Tayy. Popular folk etymology traces the word to Tajik тоҷ (toj, “crown”) (see Arabic تَاج (tāj), from Persian تاج (tâj, “crown”)), but this is false.
