Etymology edit
From Ottoman Turkish اولوس (ulus), from a Mongolic source, compare Mongolian улс (uls, “state, country”), from Old Turkic [script needed] (uluš, “country, city”) which is likely related to Old Turkic [script needed] (ülüš, “lot, endowment”),[1] therefore from Proto-Turkic *üle- (“to divide, distribute, endow”),[2] see more at üleş and üleşmek.
