Etymology 2 edit

From Ottoman Turkish آجیمق (acımak), from Proto-Turkic *ačï- (to pity, have compassion). According to Starostin and Dybo; in modern languages the root tends to be confused with *iāčɨ- 'bitter, bitterness' (see Etymology 1), thus the Oghuz voicing may be a result of secondary contamination and not due to original vowel length.[2]

Cognate with Old Uyghur [script needed] (ačïɣ, precious gift), [script needed] (ačïn-, to tend, be favourable), Azerbaijani acımaq (to sympathize), Yakut аһын (ahın, to feel sorry for).
