The word 'Arzalism' is derived from the Modern Latin ''Arzalismus'', which itself comes from the Varshani word ''arzal'', meaning "worship" or, more broadly "religion". The Varshani language has no proper name for the religon, simply referring to it as ''arzal'', or alternatively as ''arzal žub rizul'' ("worship of the true gods") when it is necessary to distinguish it from other religions. | The word 'Arzalism' is derived from the Modern Latin ''Arzalismus'', which itself comes from the Varshani word ''arzal'', meaning "worship" or, more broadly "religion".

The term 'Arzalism' is first attested in Old World sources in the 1890s and entered into common currency over the course of the 20th century ''anno Domini'', replacing terms such as "Niscism" (''Niscismus'', from Varshani ''Nizčo'', the native term for the Death God) "Varshanism" (''Varscianismus'') or "the Varshani religion" (''religio Varscianorum''), which still enjoy some usage. | The term 'Arzalism' is first attested in Old World sources in the 1890s and entered into common currency over the course of the 20th century ''anno Domini'', replacing terms such as "Niscism" (''Niscismus'', from Varshani ''Nizčo'', the native term for the Death God), "Varshanism" (''Varscianismus'') or "the Varshani religion" (''religio Varscianorum''), which still enjoy some usage. | ||
