çekim: geçmiş διήγειρα · ortaç έχοντας διεγείρει · şimdiki διεγείρει · ulaç διεγείροντας
eş: αναστατώνω, εξάπτω, ερεθίζω
köken: Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek διεγείρω (diegeírō, “wake up; raise”) from δια- (dia-) and ἐγείρω (egeírō, “raise”). By surface analysis, δι- (δια-) + εγείρω (egeíro, “raise”). For psychological and sexual senses, semantic loan from French exciter.
to light, to ignite; to turn on (any kind of) lights (including flames) · to become sexually aroused · to become enthusiastic about something
çekim: geçmiş tände · ortaç tänd · ulaç tändande
zıt: släcka
köken: From Old Swedish tænda, from Old Norse tenda, from Proto-Germanic *tandijaną. Akin to German zünden and Old English tendan (whence English tind). The meaning of sexual arousal is likely a semantic calque from English turn on.
