Con trattino come

al‧çak

Pronunciato come (IPA)

/aɫˈt͡ʃak/

Etimologia (Inglese)

From Ottoman Turkish آلچاق (alçaḳ, “low, short in stature, shallow, vile, despicable”), from Proto-Turkic *ăl (“lower side, below, being below, lower”). According to Talât Tekin Turkish aşağı (from aşak) and alçak are doublets, since ĺč turns into ş in Common Turkic. But longs vowels do not fit together in Turkmen alçak (alçak) and aşak (aşa:k).
An alternative etymology is suggested by Hüseyin Yıldız as alt (“bottom, base”) + -sa- (“derives verbs from nouns and adjectives”) + -k (“participle suffix”), where the /ts/ sound undergoes a phonetic change and turns into /t͡ʃ/, in which way derivations like alçak, alçalmak (“to become low, to stoop, to degenerate”) as well as آلچامق (alçamaḳ, “to treat as vile, to become low”)(which does not exist in Modern Turkish) are made.
