köken: Inherited from Chagatai اوردک (ʾwrdk /ördäk/), from Karakhanid اُرْدَكْ (ördek), from Proto-Turkic *ȫrdek (“duck”). Cognate with Kyrgyz өрдөк (ördök), Southern Altai ӧртӧк (örtök), Kumyk оьрдек (ördek), Khakas ӧртек (örtek), Uzbek oʻrdak, Bashkir үрҙәк (ürźək), Gagauz ördek, Azerbaijani ördək, Turkish ördek, etc. See also the Etymology section at өйрәк.
köken: From a regional (Kazakh, Karakalpak, Bashkir) innovative form *üyrek, from Proto-Turkic *ȫrdek (“duck”). Immediately cognate with Kazakh, Karakalpak үйрек (üirek). Compare also Old Uyghur [script needed] (ödirek, “duck”). For more Turkic cognates, see the Etymology section at үрҙәк.
köken: Inherited from Proto-Turkic *kȫkel (“drake”), equivalent to кӑвак (kăvak, “blue, grey”) + -ал (-al). Yegorov also suggested it may be from an onomatopoeia ква-ква (kva-kva), however this is considered incorrect by Eren and Fedotov. Cognate with Turkish gövel (“green headed (of ducks)”) and Bashkir күгәл (kügəl, “drake”).

köken: From Byzantine Greek γλυτώνω (glutṓnō) with simplification of ⟨υ⟩ to ⟨ι⟩, from the Ancient Greek ἐκλυτώνω (eklutṓnō), from ἔκλυτος (éklutos, “loose, unrestrained”). The popular simplification of the etymological spelling γλυτώνω (glytóno) may be considered as a mistake.
Η γυναίκα γλίτωσε από τον άντρα της που την έδερνε.
köken: First attested in the Worin seokbo (月印釋譜 / 월인석보), 1459, as Middle Korean 올〮히 (Yale: wólhì). The dialectal evidence suggests that Old Korean had /k/ instead of /h/; compare Gyeongsang Korean 올기 (olgi) and 올개이 (olgaei).
köken: Inherited from Old Polish kaczka, from Proto-Slavic *kačьka, a West Slavic innovation of onomatopoeic origin (for the duck's cry, compare English quack for a similar formation) which replaced Proto-Slavic *ǫtь (“duck”) in West Slavic. Cognates include Czech kachna, kačka, and Slovak kačka, kačica.
