oturmak

Turkish

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish اوتورمق (oturmak, to sit, incubate, live, remain), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (otur-, to sit), from earlier *oltur-, from Proto-Turkic *ol-tur- (to sit),[1] akin to *ol-ur- (to sit) both being causative forms of Proto-Turkic *ol- (to be).[2] Proto-Turkic *ol(u)-'s relation to Karakhanid [script needed] (olmāq, to be, become ripe), and Turkish olmak (to be, become, happen, exist, be situated) is not clear, at least the Turkish form is thought to be from Proto-Turkic *bōl- (to become). The -/l/- in -/lt/- cluster was lost, compare a similar case in getir- (<*gẹl-tür-).
