From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Inherited from Old Armenian ուրախ (urax).

ուրախ • (urax) (superlative ամենաուրախ)

  1. happy, glad, cheerful
  • րախ (rax) — shortened for metrical reasons

Probably an Iranian borrowing: compare Middle Persian [script needed] (ʾwlwʾhmn' /⁠urwāhman⁠/, “joyful”), 𐫀𐫇𐫡𐫇𐫀𐫍𐫖𐫏 (ʾwrwʾhmy /⁠urwāhmīh⁠/, “joy”).[1][2] Probably related to Old Armenian խրախ (xrax).[3]
