Etymology

Borrowed from Turkish: yol

Cognate with Turkish: din

Cognate with Pahlavi: 𐭠𐭥𐭲𐭥𐭧𐭱𐭲𐭩

Cognate with Persian: اردیبهشت

In summary

Compare 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; therefore a false attempt of purism.
