Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Turkic *bagïrsuk (entrails), cognate with Old Turkic baɣïrsuq ("intestines, entrails").[1] Related to Kazakh бауыр (bauyr), cognate with Old Turkic baɣïr ("liver")

The word bağırsak ("intestines") was first analyzed by V.V. Radlov as a compound of bağır ("innards, liver") + -sak (diminutive or descriptive affix). A. Zajonchkovsky and K. Brockelmann supported this view, noting that -sak forms other body part names, and Brockelmann proposed a variant bayır-suq.

Alternative explanations, such as W. Bang's suggestion of a verb bayırsa- and G. Clauson’s derivation from bağırsa- ("to want liver"), do not adequately explain the meaning "intestines." G. Doerfer's attempt to unite different forms (bağırsaq, bağarsuq) into an archetype bëgarsôk is considered unnecessary, as earlier analyses suffice. [2]

Phonetic variations like -sak, -suq, and -sıq likely stem from affix blending over time. The Russian baursak (a type of fried dough) is derived from inter-Turkic bavursak.
