Étymologie

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish دكرمن (değirmen), ultimately a derivation of Proto-Turkic *degir- (“to spin”), from *deg- (“round”); equivalent to devir- + -men.
Cognate with Old Turkic [script needed] (tegirmen, “mill”), Kazakh диірмен (diırmen), Bashkir тирмән (tirmən), Azerbaijani dəyirman, etc.
Compare also devir- (“to overturn”), dön- (“to turn”), tekerlek (“wheel”) from the same root.
