Etymology

From Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (saqsı)[1]; cognate with Karakhanid سَسِق (sasiq, potteryware), Turkish saksı, Uzbek sassiq (stinky). Perhaps the Old Anatolian term is a metathesised form of *sas-kï, ultimately from Common Turkic *sasï- (become rotten; stink; give off smoke), in turn from < *sassï < *sarsï < *sar (swamp, mud)[2], a by-form of *siāŕ (marsh, dirt), whence Turkish saz (reed)?
