bocsát

Hungarian

Etymology

First attested at the end of the 12th century. A loanword from an Oghur Turkic language before the times of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries). Ultimately from Proto-Turkic *boĺo- (“to free, liberate”) which is a derivation from the adjective *boĺ (“empty, free”). Cognate with Turkish boşamak (“to divorce, to end one's own marriage”), Karakhanid بُشُوماقْ‎ (bošūmāq, “to divorce, to get loose”). The ending -t is a causative suffix.[1]
