Usually considered to be from Proto-Common Turkic *yapgut (“stuffing, matted mass of hair or wool”) through a Turkic language before the times of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries), cognate with gyapjú (“wool”). However Benkő states the word is isolated in Karakhanid.
