Calque of Ottoman Turkishدونر(döner) or Turkishdöner, from دونمك(dönmek, “turn”) or dönmek(“turn”), for the cyclic movement of the skew. The calque origin is likely to be Modern Turkish, as the dish was probably only introduced in Greece after the fall of the Ottoman Empire[6] and originally known by the loanword ντονέρ(ntonér); the change may have been inspired by the wish to de-Turkify the term.[7]
