Etymology 1
From Ottoman Turkish بوگور (böğür, “flank, hypochondrium”), from Proto-Turkic *bögür (“kidney(s)”).[1] The original sense was displaced by böbrek, a derivation from the same root, see further cognates there. Compare also Proto-Mongolic *böxere (“kidney(s)”), Mongolian бөөр (böör, “kidney”), possibly an early Turkic borrowing,[2] or according to the now widely discredited Altaic theory, a cognate.[3]
