Etymology
From the Middle Persian equivalent to Persian دریچه (dariče, “panel, pane; window, lid, cover for an opening”, literally “little door”), from در (dar, “door”) + ـچه (-če, diminutive suffix), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dʰwer- (compare ترس (t-r-s), from the same root but via Greek). Compare also Gulf Arabic دريشة (darīša, “window”) and Swahili dirisha (“window, opening”).
