Etymology 1

Learned borrowing from Ottoman Turkish ???? (sav) or from other historic Turkic varieties. The term fell out of use in Turkey in the XVII-th century and was reintroduced during the language reform in order to replace ?????? (dâiye, “incitement, cause, motive”) and ????? (iddiâ). The last term is still in use, however, see iddia.

Ultimately from Proto-Turkic *s?b.
