Etymology

Inherited from Old Anatolian Turkish اوچماق (uçmaq), واچماغ (uçmağ), from Proto-Turkic *uštmag (“paradise”), probably from Sogdian [script needed] (ʼwštmʼχ, “paradise”); this word eventually underwent a semantic merge with اوچمق (uçmak, “to fly, rise”). Cognate with Bashkir ожмах (ojmax), Kazakh ұжмақ (ūjmaq), Kyrgyz ужмак (ujmak) and Uzbek uchmoh.
