Etymology

edit

From Ottoman Turkish آییلمق (ayılmak), [1] passive of Proto-Turkic *ād- (to sober up).[2] The simplest form is not attested in Common Turkic, therefore Nişanyan assumes *ad- “to separate, distinguish, notice” and claims Old Turkic 𐰑𐰺𐰞 (adrïl-, to separate (intr.)) (see ayrılmak) and adıl- must be causative-passive and passive forms of this stem respectively. He gives the example of Arabic فَرَقَ (faraqa, to separate, distinguish). Cognate with Azerbaijani ayılmaq (to wake up, sober up), Turkmen aýylmak (to recollect oneself).
