Etymology

edit

From Ottoman Turkish صیچمق (sıçmak, to defecate), from Proto-Turkic *sïč- (to defecate). Altaicists compare to Buryat шэшэхэ (šešexe, to have diarrhoea), Manchu ᠰᠣᠰᠣᠮᠪᡳ (sosombi, to have diarrhoea), Middle Mongol [script needed] (čiči-, to defecate),[1] but the Altaic theory is now widely discredited.

Cognate with Karakhanid [script needed] (sıç-, to defecate), Chuvash сысма (sysma, to defecate), Kazakh тышу (tyşu, to shit, defecate), Kyrgyz чычуу (cıcuu).
