Uzbek

See also: uzbek and Użbek

English

Etymology

From Russian узбек (uzbek), from Uzbek oʻzbek. First element probably from Turkic öz (“genuine”), second from either Old Turkic 𐰋𐰏‎ (beg, “ruler”) or Sogdian [script needed] (βγ /beġ/, “master”); the latter from Proto-Indo-Aryan *bʰagás, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *bʰagás (beg may be borrowed from *bʰagás, see bey). The first element is often thought to be equivalent to English Oghuz.

Noun

Uzbek (plural Uzbeks)

1. A person from Uzbekistan or of Uzbek descent.
