Etymology 2
Phono-semantic matching of Aramaic שׁכרונא / ܫܲܟܪܘܿܢܵܐ (šaḵrōnā, “henbane”), however not belonging to the root cognate to the Arabic root س ك ر (s k r). Derived instead from Akkadian 𒌑𒅫 (U2.ŠAKIR /šakirû/, “a plant, drug”), ultimately a loan from Sumerian 𒌑𒅫 (U2.ŠAKIR /šakir/, “a plant, drug”). Found also in the doublet of شَوْكَرَان (šawkarān, “hemlock”) that is considered the Persian descendant.
Alternative forms
