Etymology 2

From Ottoman Turkish صاز ‎(saz, “rush, reed”), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] ‎(sāz),^[1] from Proto-Turkic *siāŕ ‎(“marsh, dirt”).^[2] Compare Hungarian sár ‎(“mud”), a Turkic borrowing. From an early date “reed”, as a plant growing in marshy environments, replaced the original sense, therefore صازلق ‎(sazlık, “marsh, marshy place, swamp”) was also interpreted as “reed, rush bed”.^[1] See Turkish sazlık ‎(“marshy place, reed bed”), compare Uyghur سازلىق ‎(sazliq, “swamp”), Kyrgyz саздак ‎(sazdak, “swamp”), Turkmen sāzlyk ‎(“reed bed, rubbish place overgrown with plants”).
