Etymology

[edit]

Unclear; probably related to Persian چاقو (čâqu, knife), even though the direction of interaction between Persian and Turkish is not clear. Alternatively, Nishanyan derives this word from Proto-Turkic *č(i)ak- (to hit, strike, knock), the same root of چاقمق (çakmak, to knock in, nail, strike).

  1. penknife, clasp-knife, pocketknife, a small knife whose blades can fold in its handle
