səmimi

Azerbaijani

Etymology

Formally from Arabic صَمِيم‎ (ṣamīm, “marrow, core”) +‎ -i, although likely formed by re-interpretation of Ottoman or Old Anatolian Turkish صمیم قلب دن‎ (samim-i kalbden, “from the inner of the heart; sincerely”), where the -i is the Ottoman style izafet of the Arabic مِنْ صَمِيمِ ٱلْقَلْبِ (min ṣamīmi l-qalbi) with similar meaning; the izafet was then re-analyzed as the adjective-forming suffix rather than nominal compound linking element. See Turkish samimi.
