Etymology

From Turkic, see Ottoman Turkish تورپ (turp).

Intuited shakily by Laufer by Doerfer and Clauson to be an Iranian borrowing in Turkic, in view of internal etymological opacity of the term in Turkic and the Persian variant turf, which we reckon to be a secondary variant like شفدر (šafdar) for شبدر (šabdar).

Note also Northern Kurdish tivir, Central Kurdish توور (tûr), Zazaki tırewı, tılpı, Talysh təyf, Armenian թրեֆ (tʻref).
