Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish صاپمق (sapmak, to swerve, deviate, diverge, go astray), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (sap-, to deviate, lead away from), from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Turkic *sap- (to leave the way, go astray, deviate).[1]

Cognate with Azerbaijani sapmaq (to wander away), Chuvash супма (supma, to turn, go astray, lose one's reason), Turkmen sap (dodge, trick).
