köken: Inherited from Proto-Slavic *žukъ. Per Vasmer (and others) likely related to жужжа́ть (žužžátʹ), жу́желица (žúželica). Per Chernykh, however, likely related to Proto-Slavic *govędo (denied by Anikin).
köken: From *bȫgček, where -ček is a diminutive suffix, from Proto-Turkic *bȫg (“insect”). Cognate with Tatar бөҗәк (böcäk, “insect”), Kazakh бөжек (böjek, “insect”), Azerbaijani böcək, Turkmen möjek, Crimean Tatar böcek, Turkish böcek (“insect”), etc.
insect, arthropod of the class Insecta · bug (any small arthropod or invertebrate that somewhat resembles an insect)
çekim: çoğul insecten
köken: Originally having a wider meaning (sense 2), as in Aristotle. From Latin īnsectum (“bug; cut up”), from īnsecō (“to cut up into”). The Latin is a calque of Ancient Greek ἔντομον (éntomon, “bug”), from ἔντομος (éntomos).
beetle (any of numerous species of insect in the order Coleoptera)
çekim: çoğul besouros
köken: From Old Galician-Portuguese abesouro (“beetle”), of unknown origin. Maybe from Latin avis aurea (“golden bird”) or from Spanish abejorro, from abeja (“bee”) + -orro (“augmentative suffix”). Or, possibly imitative of the wing's sounds. Cognate with Galician abesouro (“bumblebee”).
köken: Cognate with Old Norse and Icelandic baggi, Old Norse bǫggr, Middle English bagge. The hypothesis for the shift in sense from "bag" to "ram" is by reference to the testicles of an unneutered ram. Doublet of bagage and packe.
köken: hyönte- + -inen. Derived from the same root as the dialectal words hyöntemet (“(snow)flakes”), hyönti (“flake”), hyönätä (“to bustle, scurry”). Ultimate origin unknown.
