Doublet of چاغ(čâğ) and from the same Turkic source as the former. The semantic development must have been along the lines of 'measure of something' → 'in high measure' → 'strong' → 'thick, healthy, sound' etc. Compare Uzbekchogʻ(“happy, gay, joyful”), Azerbaijaniçağ(“healthy; well-fed; happy”) for a similar development. Cognate with Talyshçok(“good”). Persianچاغ(čâğ) was borrowed from a parallel track of semantic development, 'measure of something' → 'measure of time' → 'time'.
