Etymology

From Vulgar Ottoman Turkish قزان (qazan), from قزغان (qazɣan), from Proto-Turkic *kaŕgan. Compare Karakhanid قَزْغانْ (qazɣān, “excavated, dug out”), Chuvash хуран (huran, “boiler”), Hungarian harang, Kazakh қазан (qazan), Bashkir ҡаҙан (qaźan). Perhaps ultimately derived from Proto-Turkic *kaŕ- (“to dig, scrape, plane”), for which see kaz-.
