موصلق

Etymology

[edit]

Unknown. According to Tietze, together with the variant مصلاق (maslak) borrowed from Arabic مَسْلَك (maslak, road, path). Stachowski derives from the related Arabic مَسْلُوك (maslūk), the passive participle of سَلَكَ (salaka, to follow a road). Alternatively, perhaps belongs with the dialectal family of words borrowed from Armenian մսուր(ք) (msur(kʻ), manger): Turkish musluk, müslük, musul, müsürlük, musurluk, musur etc. designating a manger and water trough; for these see Bläsing and Dankoff.
