In summary

From Ottoman Turkish صاز (saz, “rush, reed”), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (sāz), from Proto-Turkic *siāŕ (“marsh, dirt”). Compare Hungarian sár (“mud”), a Turkic borrowing. From an early date “reed”, as a plant growing in marshy environments, replaced the original sense, therefore صازلق (sazlık, “marsh, marshy place, swamp”) was also interpreted as “reed, rush bed”. See Turkish sazlık (“marshy place, reed bed”), compare Uyghur سازلىق (sazliq, “swamp”), Kyrgyz саздак (sazdak, “swamp”), Turkmen sāzlyk (“reed bed, rubbish place overgrown with plants”).
