Etymology
In summary
From Ottoman Turkish یرتمق (yırtmaḳ, “to tear, to rend, to slit”), causative of Ottoman Turkish یرمق (yırmaḳ, “to tear”), from Proto-Turkic *yīr- or *yï̄r- (“to split lengthwise, to break, to tear”). Causative form replaced the original verb, see dialectal yırmak. Cognate with Karakhanid [script needed] (yırt-, “to tear”), Azerbaijani, Crimean Tatar yırtmaq (“to tear”), Kyrgyz жыртуу (jırtuu, “to tear”), Turkmen ýyrtmak (“to tear”), Tuvan чирер (çirer, “to break away, jag”), Uzbek yirtmoq (“to tear”), Yakut сиир (siir, “to tear”). Compare also Mongolian жиргэх (jirgeh, “to chop, hack, split”).
