erdem
Turkish
editEtymology
editFrom Common Turkic *erdem.[1] While Clauson claims a derivational link to Proto-Turkic *ēr (“man, male”),[1] Nişanyan rejects this link, despite a Latin parallel between virtus and vir (“man”).[2] Cognates with Karakhanid اَرْدَمْ (erdem), Tuvan эртем (ertem), Uyghur ئەردەم (erdem).
