جورب

Possibly from (or cognate with) Persian جوراب (jôrâb, “sock, stocking”), with earlier forms گورب (gôrab), گوراب (gôrâb), speculatively a metathesis of Middle Persian *gōrb/pāy (literally “grave of foot”), which has potential to be folk etymology. Alternatively, the Persian and/or the Arab forms might have been borrowed from Aramaic גְּרָב / גְּרַב (gəraḇ, gərāḇ, “skin bottle or pouch”), though it remains unknown in which language the new meaning as a footwear developed first.
