Etymology 1[edit]

From Proto-Turkic *kẹlin (bride, daughter-in-law).[1] Probably a derivation from Proto-Turkic *kẹl- (to come), whence also Azerbaijani gəlmək. The etymology is probably based on the fact that a daughter-in-law used to be a newcomer in her husband's extended household.[2] Starostin et al. reject the seemingly obvious relation between the two roots in favor of the form *kele reconstructed for the largely discredited Proto-Altaic.[3] Cognate with Old Turkic 𐰚𐰠𐰤 (kelin /⁠kl²n²⁠/, daughter-in-law),[4] Turkish gelin (daughter-in-law), Gagauz gelin (bride), Bashkir килен (kilen, bride, young wife), etc.
