Etymology

In summary

From Ottoman Turkish سمیز اوت (semiz ot), can be analyzed as semiz (“fat”, adjective) + ot (“grass, herb”) + -u (possessive suffix). The unusual possessive suffix in an adjective compound is possibly a remnant from former semizlik otu. Cognate with Uyghur سېمىزئوت (sëmiz'ot, “common purslane”).
