Etymology

edit

Because of the measure a likely Turkic or Mongolic borrowing but the root is uncertain, first attested in both Persian and Ottoman Turkish in the 17th century, perhaps from Azerbaijani sür (“to drive, to push, to send”) + sat (“to sell”), for contributions may involve forced sales or “sales” for free, and the frequent variant سیورسات (soyursât) is perhaps aligned to سیورغال (soyurğâl, “hereditary benefice”).
