Etymology edit

From Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (döğü). In Ottoman Turkish less commonly طوگی (düğü, rice). Compare Turkish düğü (the finest bulgur than remains after sifting).[1] Cognate with Kumyk дюгю (dügü, rice), Salar dügü, Turkmen tüwi (rice). Ultimately from Proto-Turkic *düg- (to pound), whence also Azerbaijani döymək (to beat, to beat up, to knock). The term referred to various pounded cereals, later gaining the sense "pounded rice" and, finally, "rice" in general.[2]
