varta

In fact, the term carries quite the pejorative baggage; its etymology is as follows: from French bardache via Spanish bardaxa or bardaje / bardaja via Italian bardasso or berdasia via Arabic bardaj meaning: "kept boy; male prostitute, catamite" from Persian bardaj from Middle Persian vartak from Old Iranian varta -, cognate to Avestan varəta: "seized, prisoner," formed from an Indo-European root welə - meaning: "to strike, wound" (which is seen in English as: vulnerable).
