Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish بوغمق (boğmak, “to choke, strangle, constrict by binding, overwhelm”), from Proto-Turkic *bog- (“to tie up, to strangle”). Cognate with Old Turkic [script needed] (boɣ-, “to strangle”), Azerbaijani boğmaq (“to choke, strangle”), Bashkir быуыу (bıwıw, “to strangle”), Chuvash пӑв (păv, “to choke, strangle”), Khakas поғырарға (poğırarğa, “to squeeze, strangle”), Kyrgyz буу (buu, “to squeeze, tie”), Turkmen bogmak (“to tie, bind, choke”), Uzbek bo'g'moq (“to choke, strangle”), Yakut буой (buoy, “to hinder, forbid, prohibit”). Compare Mongolian боох (boox, “to tie up, bind, hinder, obstruct”), possibly a Turkic borrowing.
