Etimologia

From Turkish yol (“way, road”), similar to tariqa and rêç (“path”), rêûresm (“ceremony”), rêbaz (“method”), etc. Compare oldaş (“friend, companion”) (from yoldaş). Originally only limited to Êzdi jargon term for "sect, cult" to refer to the Adawi order. It was popularized in the 90s favored over the native dîn to mean "religion" in Northern Kurdish media in an assumption that this word is "more Kurdish", as opposed to the native one which is the exact same of Turkish din.
On a lesser possibility, or perhaps now conflated with it, is an earlier *ord, a New Iranic development of *erd meaning "order"; akin to asha and rta. For the sound change compare Middle Persian 𐭠𐭥𐭲𐭥𐭧𐭱𐭲𐭩 (Ardwahišt) and Persian اردیبهشت (Ordibehešt).
