  1. From Ottoman Turkish سزمك (sezmek, to perceive, discern, make out), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (sez-, to feel, perceive; to think, conjecture), from Proto-Turkic *seŕ-, *sēŕ- (to feel, understand).[1]
  2. Compare Proto-Mongolic *seri- (to wake, notice), (Mongolian сэрэх (serex, to wake up)). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
