A look at the words Salam and Darud in the Persian language podcast The word "Dard" in ancient Persian literature means a blessing and a wish for good luck. Some linguists believe that the roots of this word are in the Avestan language "druvat", which also means well-being and health, and today it has become "correct". However, some do not see this claim as documented. The word "salam" is also derived from the root "salam" in Arabic, which means health, peace and freedom from harm. Of course, a number of researchers, including Nader Hassanzadeh Rastagari, say that although "salam" has the same root as Arabic words such as Yaslam, Taslam, Salam and Islam, it is not Arabic and before entering the Arabic language, it also existed in other Semitic languages such as Aramaic, Hebrew and Akkadian.
