Etymology

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]
