From Ottoman Turkish قایمق (kaymak), from Proto-Turkic *kāy- (“to slide”) and *kay- (“to turn back; to squint, move to smb.’s side; to go past”), both being different Proto-Turkic roots as one has a long vowel and one does not. Cognate with Old Turkic (kay-, “to turn (towards a direction or a thing), look after, have interest in, pay attention to”), etc.
