گوشه
Persian
editEtymology
editFrom Middle Persian [script needed] (gwšk' /gōšag/, “corner”), which appears to be a suffixed formation from the word found now as گوش (guš, “ear”), in the sense of a lappet or protruding end of something. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
Another theory derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *gew- (“to bend, curve; hand”); see also Ancient Greek γῦρος (gûros, “ring, circle”).[1]
Pronunciation
