coşmak

Turkish

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish جوشمق‎ (cōşmak, “to boil up, overflow, become lively”), earliest attestation is from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (cōş, “boil”), ultimately from Common Turkic *čōš-. Either from Persian جوش‎ (juš, “boil, simmer”) or directly from جوشیدن‎ (jušidan, “to heat, boil”), however direct verb borrowings in Turkish historically has not been preferred. Cognate with Azerbaijani coşmaq, Turkmen jōşmak, Uzbek joshmoq, Uyghur [script needed] (cuşqunlimaq), maybe also Kyrgyz чочуу (çoçuu), Southern Altai чочыыр (čočïïr), Kazakh шошу (şoşu, “to be frightened”), etc.
