词源

From Latin Arachōsia, from Ancient Greek Ἀραχωσία (Arakhōsía), a borrowing from the Iranian language of that region; ultimately from Proto-Iranian *hárahwatiH, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *SáraswatiH. Compare the Old Persian name of the place: 𐏃𐎼𐎢𐎺𐎫𐎡𐏁 (h-r-u-v-t-i-š /⁠harauvatiš⁠/, literally “rich in waters/lakes”).
