From Proto-Indo-Iranian (compare Old Persian 𐎭𐎼𐎴𐎹 (d-r-n-y /⁠daraniya-⁠/), Sanskrit हिरण्य (hiraṇya, “gold”)), probably ultimately from a derivative of the Proto-Indo-European root *ǵʰel- (“yellow; gleam; to shine”). Compare Old Church Slavonic злато (zlato, “gold”), Latvian zelts, English gold.

Wikipedia ^fa

Etymology 1

From Middle Persian *zarr (“gold”), from Parthian *zarn (“gold”); the inherited form would have started with a D, as is seen in Old Persian 𐎭𐎼𐎴𐎹 (d-r-n-y). Ultimately from a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰelh₃- (“yellow; gleam; to shine”). Indo-Iranian cognates include Northern Kurdish zêrr, and Sanskrit हिरण्य (hiraṇya). Other cognates include Old Church Slavonic злато (zlato), Latvian zelts, and English gold and yellow.
