Etymology[edit]

Inherited from Proto-Turkic *tïlak (clitoris);[1] equivalent to دل (dil, tongue) +‎ ـاق (-ak, noun and adjective diminutive suffix). The change from front to back vowel predates the earliest written record in the 11th century: see Turkish dil, which retains the front vowel. Cognate with Azerbaijani dıllaq.

Noun[edit]

  1. clitoris, an erectile organ at the anterior part of the vulva
    Synonyms: بظر (bazr, bezar), دلجك (dilcik)
