Turkish

kadın

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish قادین‎ (kadın, “lady”), from earlier *qadun, from Common Turkic *kātun (“queen”). Akin to Old Turkic 𐰴𐱃𐰆𐰣‎ (qatun, “queen”), Karakhanid قاتُونْ‎ (qātūn, “noble woman”). Long vowel is reconstructed on the basis of voicing and medieval evidence. Thought to be an early borrowing from an eastern Iranian language.[1][2][3] Doublet of hatun.
