باجاق
Ottoman Turkish
Etymology
According to Nishanyan, the word is directly from Middle Turkic [script needed] (bağacak) or [script needed] (bağancak, "the lower part of the horse's and sheep's leg"); which has evolved from Old Turkic [script needed] (baḳačuk, “bicep muscle, the purlin part of the horse's foot”). Diminutive of Old Turkic [script needed] (baka, “frog”). Compare Latin mūsculus for semantic development.
