Etymology 2
From Ottoman Turkish آجیمق (acımak), from Proto-Turkic *ačï- (“to pity, have compassion”). According to Starostin and Dybo; in modern languages the root tends to be confused with *iāčɨ- 'bitter, bitterness' (see Etymology 1), thus the Oghuz voicing may be a result of secondary contamination and not due to original vowel length.
