Etimologia (Anglès)

From Ottoman Turkish قازمه (kazma, “pickaxe”), from Ottoman Turkish قازمق (kazmak, “to dig out, to excavate”), ultimately from Proto-Turkic *kaŕ- (“to dig out”). From the common cross-cultural depictions of dwarves working the earth, likely bolstered by the real-life use of smaller individuals in mines to reach inaccessible places.
