köken: Borrowed on the verge of Middle High German to Early New High German from Latin portulaca (in herbals which hardly transmitted the length of the penultimate vowel). Largely displaced the earlier borrowing Burzel.
aile: Gemüse-Portulak, Portulakröschen
Die Portulacke wächst von Natur auf allen Antillen, und sogar in den Gehölzen.
From Ottoman Turkish سمیز اوت (semiz ot), can be analyzed as semiz (“fat”, adjective) + ot (“grass, herb”) + -u (possessive suffix). The unusual possessive suffix in an adjective compound is possibly a remnant from former semizlik otu. Cognate with Uyghur سېمىزئوت (sëmiz'ot, “common purslane”).
