Alternative forms

Etymology
[edit]Unclear; probably related to Persian چاقو (čâqu, “knife”), even though the direction of interaction between Persian and Turkish is not clear. Alternatively, Nishanyan derives this word from Proto-Turkic *č(i)ak- (“to hit, strike, knock”), the same root of چاقمق (çakmak, “to knock in, nail, strike”).
Noun

- penknife, clasp-knife, pocketknife, a small knife whose blades can fold in its handle
