Etymologie (Engels)

From Ottoman Turkish امید (umut), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (umut, “hope”). Its relation to Persian امید (omêd, “hope”) is not clear. According to Starostin although it may be a derivative of Proto-Turkic *um- (“to hope for”), (see Turkish um-) it tends to merge with the Persian word (see also ümit). Nişanyan points out that it is akin to Karakhanid [script needed] (umunç, “desire, hope”), [script needed] (umdu, “desire”), Old Uyghur [script needed] (umuɣ, “desire”), which are all derived from Proto-Turkic *um-. Equivalent to um- (“to hope”) + -ut.
