Etymology

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish: طیاره

In summary

From Ottoman Turkish طیاره, itself derived from the Arabic ط ي ر (ṭ y r, “related to flying”). Likely coined by Fazıl Ahmet Aykaç around 1910. Displaced by the neologism uçak starting from the late 1930s, originally proposed for the sense 'airfield' during the language reform.
