Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish طاس (tas), which borrowed this from Arabic طَاس (ṭās, “bowl”) (a shortening of طَسْت (ṭast)), from Middle Persian tšt' (tašt), ultimately from the past participle of Proto-Iranian *taš- (“to make, construct; to cut”), from Proto-Indo-European *tetḱ-. Cognate with French tasse.
