öğrenmek

Turkish

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish اوكرنمك‎, اوگرنمك‎ (öğrenmek, “to learn”), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (ögren-, “to learn”), reflexive form of unrecorded Proto-Turkic *ȫgre-. See also öğretmek (“to teach”), causative form of the same root. Ultimately derived from Proto-Turkic *ȫg (“mind, thought, intelligence”), which is again a derivative of Proto-Turkic *ȫ- (“to think of, understand, realize”). Compare Karakhanid [script needed] (ȫg, “intelligence, mind”), Old Uyghur [script needed] (ög, “mind, thought, memory”), Yakut өй (öy, “mind”), Karakhanid [script needed] (ȫ-, “to understand”), Old Turkic 𐰇𐰢𐰕‎ (ömez, “(he/she/it/one) does not think of”).
