[edit]Inherited from Ottoman Turkish ياراق (yarak, “weapon, equipments; penis”), from Old Anatolian Turkish یراق (yaraq, “weapon”), from Proto-Turkic *yarak, a derivation from Proto-Turkic *yara-. By surface analysis, yara- (“to avail”) + (suffix deriving tools) -ak.
Compare aşağı and taşak for the emphatic gemination.
Related to Old Uyghur [script needed] (yarağ, “opportunity”), Cuman-Kipchak yarov (“equipment”). Cognate with Old Turkic 𐰖𐰺𐰴 (yarak), Chagatai یاراغ (yarağ), Azerbaijani yaraq, Kazakh жарақ (jaraq), Turkmen ýarag (“weapon”), etc. Unrelated to Turkmen ýārak.
