Glossary
پشتبام
پشتبام (posht-e bâm) means rooftop terrace or the flat back surface of a roof. Both elements are pure Persian, and the word carries a strong place in everyday Iranian domestic life.
زیربنا
زیربنا (zirbanâ) means infrastructure, foundation, or substructure. It combines Persian زیر (under) with Arabic بنا (building, construction), making it a mixed-origin compound used in both formal and architectural speech.
پلان
پلان (pelân) means floor plan or architectural layout. It is borrowed from French “plan” and is the standard term architects and builders use in Iran for building blueprints and room layouts.
برقکش
برقکش (bargh-kesh) means electrician. It is a compound of برق (Arabic: electricity/lightning) and the Persian suffix کش (one who pulls or works with), so the origin is mixed.

کرامیک (kerâmik) is the Persian word for ceramic tile and ceramics as a building material. It is a French loanword, borrowed from French céramique, which itself descends from Greek keramos.
سنگ مرمر
سنگ مرمر (sang-e marmar) means marble stone. It pairs the native Persian word for stone with the Greek-origin word marmar.

تلق
تلق (talq) is the colloquial Persian word for a thin transparent sheet, like plastic wrap or cellophane. It extends from the ancient Persian mineral name for mica, whose Arabic form entered the language before the modern plastic sense emerged.
