Etymology
The word combines تُرْك, the Arabic form of the ethnonym 'Turk', with the nisba suffix ي, which turns a noun into an adjective of relation or origin. Arabic borrowed تُرْك directly from the self-name of the Turkic peoples rather than developing it from an Arabic root. Because Turkic languages are not Indo-European, there is no PIE root behind this word.
