Etymology 2

From Ottoman Turkish ???? (saz, “rush, reed”), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (s?z), from Proto-Turkic *si?? (“marsh, dirt”). Compare Hungarian sár (“mud”), a Turkic borrowing. From an early date “reed”, as a plant growing in marshy environments, replaced the original sense, therefore ?????? (sazl?k, “marsh, marshy place, swamp”) was also interpreted as “reed, rush bed”. See Turkish sazl?k (“marshy place, reed bed”), compare Uyghur ??????? (sazliq, “swamp”), Kyrgyz ?????? (sazdak, “swamp”), Turkmen s?zlyk (“reed bed, rubbish place overgrown with plants”).
