editFrom earlier form کاهریز (/kāhrēz/) or کهریز (/kahrēz/), from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ksryc /kahrēz/) (compare Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫞𐫍𐫡𐫏𐫉 (qhryz /kahrēz/, “qanat”), Parthian 𐫞𐫍𐫡𐫏𐫝 (qhryc /kahrēz/, “qanat”) and Khunsari کیریز (/kēirīz)/), or compound of کاه (kâh, “straw”) + ریز (rêz, “to throw”). They used to throw straws in qanats' wells to see how rapid the movement of water is for repair purposes.
