Etymology

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish: طوربه

Cognate with Tatar: тубра

Cognate with Armenian: տոպրակ

In summary

From Ottoman Turkish طوربه (torba, “bag”), vulgar of طوبره (tobra). Cognate to Tatar тубра (tubra), compare Armenian տոպրակ (toprak), a Turkic borrowing. Perhaps ultimately related to top (“ball”) in the sense of “round, swollen thing”.
