string (of a musical stringed instrument) · bowstring
köken: Inherited from Middle Persian 𐭦𐭩𐭧 (zyḥ /zīh/). Cognate with Avestan 𐬲𐬌𐬌𐬁 (žiiā, “bow-string”), Ancient Greek βιός (biós, “bow-string, tendon”), Old Church Slavonic жила (žila), Lithuanian gýsla, Old Armenian ջիլ (ǰil) and Sanskrit ज्या (jyā́).
köken: From Old Japanese. Compound of 弓 (yu, “bow”) + 弦 (tsuru, “string, line”). The tsuru changes to zuru as an instance of rendaku (連濁). Probably the original reading, given the etymology of the yu and yumi readings for 弓.
