كوستك

Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Old Anatolian Turkish كوستك (köstek), from the same root as dialectal Turkish köstemek (to tie animals on the foot). [1][2][3] A less accepted theory proposed by Nishanyan instead derives the word from an hypothetical Persian word which derives from the verb کستن (kustan, to beat).[4] Cognate with Turkmen kössek. Compare also Karakhanid كُسْرُكْ (kusruk /⁠kösrük⁠/, hobble, fetter).
