اورنك

Ottoman Turkish

Etymology

Borrowed from Middle Armenian օրինակ (ōrinak), from Old Armenian օրինակ (ōrinak, “example”).[1][2][3] A native Turkic origin from گورمك‎ (görmek, “to see”) has also been suggested,[4] but such a formation is unusual in Turkic, and the drop of g- would remain unexplained.[2][5]

Noun

اورنك • (örnek)

  1. example, model
  2. moral (of story), lesson
