Etymology

Shortened of Persian چاوش خوان (čâvoš-xwân) or چاوشگر (čâvošgar), probably related to Persian verb چاویدن (čâvidan, “to tweet, chirp; to cry aloud”), actually should be pronounced čāveš, but in Iranian Persian suffix -eš after āv pronounced -oš, compare with کاوش (kâvoš), تراوش (tarâvoš). At least the sense “apparitor, beadle” derives from Turkic, specifically from the Ottoman Turkish چاوش (çavuş).
