Etymology
طازج is a loanword from Persian تازه (tāze), meaning fresh or new. Arabic speakers adopted it through everyday trade and kitchen vocabulary rather than through classical Arabic roots. Persian, Urdu, and Turkish share the same word for the same idea, a sign of centuries of contact along shared trade routes. The word entered Arabic without changing its core sound, just gaining Arabic case endings.
