köken: From Middle Persian [script needed] (dstk' /dastag/, “bunch, bundle, group; handle”), equivalent to دست (dast, “hand”) + ـه (-e). Akin to Old Armenian դաստակ (dastak), տստակ (tstak), Arabic دَسْتَج (dastaj), Classical Syriac ܕܣܬܩܐ (dastəqāʾ), all Iranian borrowings.
a semicircular handle, such as the bail of a bucket and the handles of bags and purses · shoulder strap (in clothes, the strap that goes over the shoulder) · a part of an organ that forms an arc (mostly in the intestines and blood vessels)
çekim: çoğul alças
köken: Deverbal from alçar (“to lift”), from Old Galician-Portuguese alçar, from Vulgar Latin *altiāre, derived from Latin altus (“high”).
a form of vertical pinball used for gambling, sometimes found in arcades · a slingshot, stonebow · a pistol
eş: スリングショット, カタパルト
köken: Appears from the Taishō period in the early 1900s. Compound of ぱちん (pachin, onomatopoeia for a small hard thing striking something else; compare English kaching) + 子 (-ko, suffix used to form nouns, often diminutive). A pinball-like children's game was first called ガチャンコ (gachanko) of similar derivation, with this more gambling-oriented machine becoming popular from around 1947.
köken: Uncertain, perhaps from German. Compare Old High German schusser (“clay ball (as a toy)”), itself from German Schuß (“shot”). Suffixed with -i to resolve the word-final consonant cluster, compare cetli from Bavarian zettl or German Zettel (/ˈt͡sɛtl̩/) etc.
köken: Derived from amplus (“ample, large”). Older theories derived the word from Proto-Indo-European *h₂em-lo-, from *h₂em- (“to grasp”), and linked to ānsa (“handle”).
