Etimoloji (İngilizce)

In summary

Recorded during Ottoman Turkish صلاق (salak, “penis exposer; penis; a kind of weapon with balls”), derived from Ottoman Turkish صالمق (sal-, “to release, free, throw”). See Turkish salmak. Nişanyan thinks the word went through semantic extension perhaps under now Turkish slang saloz (“stupid”), a borrowing from Greek σαλός (salós, “fool”). Compare also Kazakh салақ (salaq, “muddlehead; careless, unkempt”).
