• چاووش‎ (čâvoš)

Shortened of Persian چاوش خوان‎ (čāvoš-xwān) or چاوشگر‎ (čāvošgar), probably related to Persian verb چاویدن‎ (čāvidan, “to tweet, chirp; to cry aloud”), actually should be pronounced čāveš, but in Iranian Persian suffix -eš after āv pronounced -oš, compare with کاوش‎ (kāvoš), تراوش‎ (tarāvoš). At least the sense “apparitor, beadle” derives from Turkic, specifically from the Ottoman Turkish چاوش‎ (çavuş).
