Origin: A borrowing from Persian. Etymon: Persian zandawastā.

Etymology: < Persian zandawastā (now also zandastā) < zand + awastā (see note), after Middle Persian awastā-wa-zand , lit. ‘Avesta and interpretation’ < awastā , the name of the most ancient Zoroastrian texts (see note) + wa and + zand interpretation, commentary, exegesis, also specifically the body of commentary on the Avesta (cognate with Avestan zainti , ultimately < zan to recognize, to know: see can v.¹).Middle Persian (Pahlavi) abestāg (later awastā ; Persian awastā ) is of uncertain origin, but perhaps (with an underlying sense ‘injunction, command, testament’) < the Iranian base of Old Persian api- , Avestan aipi- (see epi- prefix) + a derivative of the Iranian base of Old Persian stā- , Avestan stā- to stand, to place (see stand n.¹); compare Sogdian ʾpštʾwn injunction, command, ʾpšty- to enjoin, command. Compare later Avesta n. Compare French †Zundeuastavv (1657 or earlier), Zend Avesta (1762 or earlier).

The sacred writings of Zoroastrianism; the ancient text of the Avesta (Avesta n.), written in the Avestan language, together with the accompanying exegesis, commentary, or translation, written in Book Pahlavi (cf. Zend n. 1b). Also: the Avesta by itself.Although still attested, the application of Zend-Avesta to the ancient Avestan texts independent of the accompanying exegisis is generally considered erroneous by specialists; cf. Zend n. 1a.
