[edit]Etymology
[edit]Possibly from 𐱅𐰇𐰼𐰇 (törü-, “to be born, to originate”) + 𐰜 (ük), itself inherited from Proto-Turkic *törü- (“to be born, to originate”). More at Turkic. Cognate with Chuvash тӗрӗк (tĕrĕk), Turkish Türk, Uzbek turk, Bashkir төрөк (török), Yakut турок (turok). Compare also Hungarian török, a Bulgar borrowing.
