sermek
Appearance
See also: sərmək
Turkish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Ottoman Turkish سرمك (sermek), from Proto-Turkic *ser- (“to endure, be patient; to spread”).[1] Some linguists express their doubts about connection of Old Turkic and modern Turkic forms, however according to Starostin the meanings are unitable within a trans.-intrans. opposition ("spread" - "to be spread > remain"). Cognate with Old Turkic [script needed] (ser-, “to endure, be patient”), Turkmen sermek (“to spread out”), Azerbaijani sərmək.
Verb
[edit]sermek (third-person singular simple present serer)
- (transitive) to spread (something) out on (the ground or floor); to spread (something) over
- (transitive) to hang (something) up on (a line)
