Proto-Slavic

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 سکوره (sokôra, “earthen dish, saucer”), Ancient Greek σκευάριον (skeuárion), σκευαρίδιον (skeuarídion, “small vessel”).[1] Also found in Lithuanian skarvadà (“frying pan”).

  1. frying pan
