Etymology

[edit]

Considered unknown, but probably by haplology from ككلیك اوتی (keklik otu, oregano, marjoram, literally partridge grass) since this denotes a spice in the same botanical tribe (Mentheae) and ككیك اوتی (kekik otu, thyme) translates as kəklikotu to Azerbaijani, along with a clipped form kəkotu. For the continuity of plant names derived from the name of the partridge bird in general, compare Proto-Slavic *arębina (partridge meat; rowan).
