'alizari' originates from Persian, specifically the word 'alizārī', where 'al-' meant 'the' and 'zārī' meant 'golden'.

'alizārī' transformed into the French word 'alizari', and eventually became the modern English word 'alizari'.

Initially, it meant 'golden', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a red dye'.
