Etymology 2

From Middle Persian xwd (xōd, helm), borrowed from Parthian xwwd (*xōδ, helmet), from Old Iranian. The Parthian word is cognate with Old Persian 𐎧𐎢𐎭𐎠 (xaudā-, hat), Avestan 𐬑𐬀𐬊𐬜𐬀 (xaoδa, helmet), Ossetian ходӕ (xodæ, hat). The native inherited form of the Persian is خوی (xoy). Akin to Old Armenian խոյր (xoyr), արտախոյր (artaxoyr), Georgian ხვირი (xviri), Arabic خوذة (xūḏa(t)), Iranian borrowings.
