Turkish

Pronunciation

Etymology 1

From Ottoman Turkish بوز (boz), from Proto-Turkic *boŕ, cognate with Uzbek bo‘z.

Adjective

boz

  1. (dated) gray
  2. (of land) uncultivated
Usage notes
  • The distinction between gray and brown in Turkish is rather recent. The word boz covers both colors, but has a connotation of being the color of bare soil and is usually thought of as a somewhat indetermined, possibly uneven, in-between color.
    The word gri (loaned from French word gris) covers only gray, and the word kahverengi (lit. “coffee color”, a neologism) covers only brown.
