köken: Inherited from Old East Slavic жестъкъ (žestŭkŭ), from Proto-Slavic *žestъkъ. Cognate to Old Church Slavonic жестъ (žestŭ, “hard”), жестѣти (žestěti, “to harden”). Also related to жесто́кий (žestókij, “cruel”).
köken: From Middle Dutch bont, probably from Latin punctus (“striped”) (thus a doublet of punt); compare German bunt. The noun is derived from the adjective: originally the noun referred to furs of variegated color.
fur, pelt · the 皮 radical (portion of a kanji character)
köken: Compound of 毛 (ke, “fur, body hair”) + 皮 (kawa, “skin, pelt”). The kawa changes to gawa as an instance of rendaku (連濁). First cited to a work from 1690, but possibly older, considering the mid-1200s appearance of Chinese-derived homograph 毛皮 (mōhi). This kegawa reading appears to have mostly superseded the mōhi reading.
to be rough or coarse in texture · to be rough or coarse in manner · to be wild or desolate
köken: First attested in the Worin seokbo (月印釋譜 / 월인석보), 1459. as Middle Korean 거츨다 (kechulta), from reconstructed Old Korean *kechil- (*kechil-), hypothesized on the evidence of proper noun alternation in the twelfth-century history Samguk sagi where the phonogramic sequence 居柒 (*kɨʌ t͡sʰiɪt̚) alternates with the logogram 萊 (“uncultivated”) in the names of places and individuals.
fur (hairy coat of a mammal) · fur coat (coat made out of fur) · match fixing, fix, spot-fixing, rig (bribery or other illegal practices of influencing the outcome)
çekim: çoğul bundák
köken: First attested in 1723. Of uncertain origin. Perhaps from the Old Hungarian dialectal adjective bonta (“black-and-white striped or spotted”), itself of German origin.
çekim: karşılaştırma asperior · üstünlük asperrimus
köken: Probably from a Proto-Indo-European *h₂esp- (“to cut”), also present in Ancient Greek ἀσπίς (aspís, “shield”) and Hittite [script needed] (ḫasp-, “to cut down”).
