Etymology

From Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (döğü). In Ottoman Turkish less commonly طوغی (düğü, rice). Compare Turkish düğü (the finest bulgur than remains after sifting)[1]. Cognate with Kumyk дюгю (dügü, rice), Turkmen tüwi (rice). Ultimately from Proto-Turkic *düg- (to pound), whence also Azerbaijani döymək (to beat, to beat up, to knock). The term referred to various pounded cereals, later gaining the sense "pounded rice" and, finally, "rice" in general[2].
