Etymology

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish: طوش

In summary

Ottoman Turkish طوش (tuş, “key, button”), derived from French touche, from the verb toucher, Middle French toucher, from Old French tochier, from Vulgar Latin *tuccāre (“to strike; to touch”). It may or may not be derived from Proto-Germanic *tukkōną (“to tug, grab, grasp”), itself from Proto-Indo-European *dewk- (“to draw, pull”).
