In summary

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish باجاق (bacaḳ, “the leg, the thigh”), from Proto-Turkic *bakań(ak) or *bakačuk (“leg”, literally “little frog”), diminutive of *b(i)āka (“frog”). For a parallel animal simile see; Latin musculus (“muscle”, literally “little mouse”). Cognate with Kazakh бақай (baqai). Also compare Karakhanid بَقانَقْ (baqanaq, baqayaq) or بَقانُقْ (baqanuq, baqayuq, “the 'frog' in a horse's hoof, the gap between the hooves of ungulates”).
