Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Old Anatolian Turkish طُوقِمَقْ (dokımaq), طُوقِیمَقْ (dokımaq), from Proto-Turkic *tokï- (“to beat, to hit, to hit with a knife, to engrave text on a stone”), the same root of Azerbaijani toxumaq and Turkish dokumak.[1][2] Nişanyan compares Latin tangere -> taxere for the semantic shift.
