Persian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Doublet of چاغ (čâğ) and from the same Turkic source as the former.[1] The semantic development must have been along the lines of 'measure of something' → 'in high measure' → 'strong'[2] → 'thick, healthy, sound' etc. Compare Uzbek chogʻ (“happy, gay, joyful”), Azerbaijani çağ (“healthy; well-fed; happy”) for a similar development. Cognate with Talysh çok (“good”). Persian چاغ (čâğ) was borrowed from a parallel track of semantic development, 'measure of something' → 'measure of time' → 'time'.
