Turkish

Etymology 1

Learned borrowing from Ottoman Turkish ساو (sav) or from other historic Turkic varieties. The term fell out of use in Turkey in the XVII-th century and was reintroduced during the language reform in order to replace داعیه (dâiye, “incitement, cause, motive”) and ادعا (iddiâ). The last term is still in use, however, see iddia.

Ultimately from Proto-Turkic *sāb.
