Etymology 2

Phono-semantic matching of Aramaic שׁכרונא / ܫܲܟܪܘܿܢܵܐ (šaḵrōnā, “henbane”), however not belonging to the root cognate to the Arabic root س ك ر (s-k-r). Derived instead from Akkadian 𒌑𒅫 (U2.ŠAKIR /⁠šakirû⁠/, “a plant, drug”), ultimately a loan from Sumerian 𒌑𒅫 (U2.ŠAKIR /⁠šakir⁠/, “a plant, drug”). Found also in the doublet of شَوْكَرَان (šawkarān, “hemlock”) that is considered the Persian descendant.
