Persian

Etymology

Related to چمیدن (čamīdan / čamidan, “to stroll, saunter”) and Old Armenian ճեմ (čem, “walk”), an Iranian borrowing.

The senses "lawn" and "meadow" are borrowed from a Turkic source, such as Turkish çimen (“meadow”), Azerbaijani çəmən (“meadow”), Turkmen çemen (“meadow; bundle, bouquet”), Uzbek chaman (“meadow”), Uyghur چىمەن (chimen, “meadow”); ultimately from *čimgen (“meadow”), a derivative of Proto-Turkic *čïm (“turf”).[1] Compare Northern Kurdish çîmen.
