Turkish

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish طوڭمق (doñmak, to freeze, to become ice, to solidify, to become rigid), from Proto-Turkic *doŋ- (to freeze).[1] Related to Turkish *doŋ (cold, frost) (for which see don). Possibly also related to Proto-Mongolic *daɣara- (to freeze) and Proto-Tungusic *doŋota (cold, frost), or Middle Chinese (/⁠tuŋ⁠/, to freeze). Compare Mongolian даарах (daarax, to freeze up), Evenki доӈото (doŋoto, frost). Perhaps from a common source or a result of language contacts.[2]
