History
From Zazaki Zaza. There are different hypotheses for the etymology of the word. It may be: * an exonym meaning stuttering or speaking unintelligibly, as the term Zaza is considered derogatory. * the clipping of the term Zawzan al-Akrad, as argued by K. Kurdoyev, * an exonym of non-Iranian substrate (possibly Northwest Caucasian or Northeast Caucasian) origin * stemming from the name of a Kurdish tribe called “Ekrad-i Zaza”,
Reduplication of za, from an apheretic pronunciation of exotic. Compare za (“exotic marijuana”).
