Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish آجیقمق (acıkmak, to be hungry, to hunger), from Proto-Turkic *ạ̄č-ɨk-, intensive form of *ạ̄č- (to hunger). Cognate to (hunger, hungry). Turkic cognates include Old Turkic 𐰀𐰲 (āč-, to hunger), Karakhanid [script needed] (ačïk-, to writhe with hunger), Bashkir асығыу (asığıw, to hunger), Kazakh ашығу (aşyğu, to hunger), Tatar ачыгу (açığu, to hunger), Turkmen ājykmak (to hunger), Uzbek ochiqmoq (to hunger), Yakut аас (aas, to hunger).

/t͡ʃ/ to /d͡ʒ/ after the succeeding vowel due to original long vowel in the first syllable, compare also conjugated forms of (hunger, hungry) to observe the same instance.
