Arabic

[edit]

Etymology 1

[edit]

Surely borrowed, considered even by the medievals as from Persian رَخْت (raxt). Though the term be explainable from an Aramaic descendant of Proto-Semitic *raḥat- (flat inner of the hand) used transferredly for various flat tools, had the Arabic been borrowed directly thence it would probably have become **رَحْت (**raḥt).

Noun

[edit]

رَخْت (raḵtm (plural رُخُوت (ruḵūt)) (Syria, Iraq)

  1. apparatus, goods and chattels of a household
  2. apparel, vestment, plumage (including of a bird)
  3. rugs, blankets, even horse blankets

Etymology 1

[edit]

According to Bailey, from the root Proto-Iranian *rak- (to prepare clothes), from Proto-Indo-European *rek-, whence Sanskrit रच् (rac, to make, fashion). Cognate with Middle Persian [script needed] (lyhtk /⁠raxtak⁠/, clothes), Khotanese [script needed] (raha-, dress) and the Chinese 絡鞮络鞮 (luòdī, Iranian shoes).

The meaning “right, true” is contaminated from راست (râst) due to the idea of a correctly furnitured house.
