Etymology
Inherited from Ottoman Turkish تره یاغی (tere yağı), some sources claim it is derived from Persian کره (kare, “butter”) (compare Azerbaijani kərə yağı), however others dispute the consonant shift from /k/ to /t/ as impossible, and claim the origin to be Persian تر (ter, “humid, wet; fresh”), indicating an earlier adjectival form tere yağ (“fresh butter”). Compare tere (“cress, watercress”) from the same origin.
