skein · tangle (complicated or confused state or condition) · an intricate, complex (and often immense) criminal case, investigation, affair or scandal
çekim: çoğul härvor · tamlayan härvas
köken: Likely from harv (“harrow”). First attested in 1624.
köken: Native word. From the Old Hungarian verb zűrzavar (“to mix up”), which in turn originated as a twin word from the Old Hungarian zúr ~ zűr (“to stir”) and zavar (“to disturb”). For similar twin structures, compare csetlik-botlik, dúl-fúl. The verb zűrzavar became a noun influenced by the fact that the word zavar is both a noun and a verb. Today it is used only as a noun.
to entangle, tangle, tousle · to crumple, ruffle (hair, etc.) · to gather wool into a felt
çekim: geçmiş vė́lė · ortaç vė́lęs · ulaç vẽliąs
köken: Along with Latvian velt (“to full, trundle”), from Proto-Indo-European *welH- (“to turn, roll, wind”). Cognate with Gothic 𐍅𐌿𐌻𐌰𐌽 (wulan, “to well up, seethe”). Alternatively, from Proto-Indo-European *welh₃- (“to hit, strike”) or otherwise semantically influenced by it.
