consume
  گساردن  
gosârdan (#)
Fr.: consommer  

  1. To use up, spend. See also → expend.

  2. To eat or drink.

Etymology (EN): M.E., from O.Fr. consumer “to consume” and directly from L. consumere “to use up, eat, waste,” from → com-, intensive prefix, + sumere “to take,” from → sub- “under” + emere “to buy, take,” from PIE root *em- “to take, distribute;” cf. Skt. yam- “to hold,” Av. yam- “to hold, keep,” → expend.

Etymology (PE): Gosârdan “to consume, drink; dissipate, wipe out; let go,” probably from Proto-Ir. *ui-sard-, from *sard- “to smear, rub;” cf. Khotanese (+*ā-) esaly “to besmear;” Kurd. sirīn “to wipe,” sirewe “to wipe out, erase;” Oss. særdyn “to smear.”
