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 uchmox.
