Etymology

Borrowed from Arabic: صِهْرِيج

Cognate with Spanish: jaraíz

In summary

Via Arabic صِهْرِيج (ṣihrīj, “cistern, tank”) from Middle Persian *čāhrēg from [script needed] (cʾh /⁠čāh⁠/, “pit, well”) + [script needed] (lyk' /⁠rēg⁠/, “sand”), as are Spanish jaraíz, Galician and Portuguese chafariz (“fountain”).
