Etymology

Uncertain however there are a few theories:

  1. According to Yegorov borrowed from Persian آبادان (âbâdân), compare Uyghur (obdan, “good”).[1]
  2. According to Fedotov borrowed from Arabic أَمَان (ʔamān, “safety, peace”).[2]
  3. Yegorov and Fedotov also suggests it may be derived from Proto-Turkic *ab-, the root of *abïn- (“to console oneself”) and *abït- (“to console”), compare Old Turkic (abïnïq, “consolation”), Khakas абыт- (abıt-, “to lull, to spend time”) and Turkish avunmak (“to cope”).[1][2]
  4. EDAL accepts Turkish evet as a cognate and reconstructs a hypothetical Proto-Turkic *ebe-,[3] however such a root is unattested and is not reconstructed outside of EDAL.
