Etimoloxía (inglés)

From Ottoman Turkish طوڭمق (doñmak, “to freeze, to become ice, to solidify, to become rigid”), from Proto-Turkic *toŋ- (“to freeze”). Related to Turkish don (“frost, rime”)). Possibly related to Proto-Mongolic *daxara- (“to freeze”) (whence Mongolian даарах (daarax, “to freeze up”)) and Proto-Tungusic *doŋota (“cold, frost”) (whence Evenki доӈото (doŋoto, “frost”)), and/or from Middle Chinese 凍 (/⁠tuŋ⁠/, “to freeze”). Distribution in both Chinese and Altaic languages tell that this word is either from a substrate represented in all four languages, or a borrowing from Chinese into Turkic .
