Etimologie (Engels)

Coined during the language reform; appears in Cep Kılavuzu (1935). Created either via gerek (“necessity”) + -ç and simply leaving out the final /k/, or by calque of Arabic مَادَّة (mādda), related to مَدَّ (madda, “to extend, to stretch”), which in turn was taken as a model for ger- (“to extend, to stretch”) + -ç. See also araç. In favor of the first possibility would speak the fact that gereç was glossed as levazım (“necessities”) in Cep Kılavuzu.
