coşmak

Turkish

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish جوشمق (cōşmak, to boil up, overflow, become lively), earliest attestation is from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (cōş, boil), ultimately from Common Turkic *čōš-. Either from Persian جوش (juš, boil, simmer) or directly from جوشیدن (jušidan, to heat, boil), however direct verb borrowings in Turkish historically has not been preferred. Cognate with Azerbaijani coşmaq, Turkmen jōşmak, Uzbek joshmoq, Uyghur [script needed] (cuşqunlimaq), maybe also Kyrgyz чочуу (cocuu), Southern Altai чочыыр (čočïïr), Kazakh шошу (şoşu, to be frightened), etc.
