Etymology

In summary

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish قبارمق (kabarmak, “to swell or puff up, to blister”), from Proto-Turkic *kāp- (“to swell, to form blisters”), possibly with the suffix Proto-Turkic *-gar. Can also be analyzed as kaba (“heavy, gross”) + -ar (“verb forming suffix”). Cognates with Azerbaijani qabarmaq, Kyrgyz кабаруу (kabaruu), Turkmen gabarmak.
