titok

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Hungarian

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Probably from Proto-Ugric *tajɜ-ttɜ- (to hide, keep something secret) + -k (noun-forming suffix).[1][2] Related to Northern Mansi тӯйтуӈкв (tūjtuňkv, to hide, to conceal). In turn, the Proto-Ugric word may be an early borrowing from Proto-Indo-Iranian (compare Avestan 𐬙𐬁𐬌𐬌𐬎 (tāiiu, thief), Sanskrit तायु (tāyu, thief)).
