çekim: karşılaştırma düsterer · üstünlük am düstersten
köken: From Middle Low German dûster, from Old Saxon thiustri, ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *þiustrī (“dark, without light”). The word also exists in parts of West Central German (compare Luxembourgish däischter), which probably facilitated the borrowing; but the standardised form is definitely from Low German in view of its lacking diphthongisation.
çekim: karşılaştırma zordabb · üstünlük legzordabb
köken: First attested in 1808. Back-formation from zordon (“bleak”). Created during the Hungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries.
From the same root as Sanskrit तर्जति (tarjati, “to threaten, frighten”), Ancient Greek τάρβος (tárbos, “terror; awe”), Welsh tarfu (“to scare away”), which may be reconstructed as Proto-Indo-European *tergʷ- (“to scare, be fierce”).
