достаканъ

Old Ruthenian

достака́нъ

Etymology

Inherited from Old East Slavic достоканъ (dostokanŭ), borrowed from Turkic dialectal dostaqan (compare Chagatai ﻃﺎﺴﻄﺎﻜﺎﻥ‎ (tostakan, “wooden bowl”), Kazakh тостаған (tostağan, “wooden cup”), Tatar тустыган (tustığan, “cup”), Bashkir туҫтаҡ (tuθtaq, “cup for drinking koumiss”)), borrowed from dialectal Persian داستارخان‎ (dostorxun), داستارخون‎ (dâstarxan), standard Persian دوستگان‎ (dustgân), دوستکان‎ (dustkân, “beloved; wine that is drunk with one's beloved; big drinking cup”), from دوستکام‎ (dustkâm, “beloved”), from دوست‎ (dôst) + کام‎ (kâm).

Cognate with Middle Russian достака́нъ (dostakán), достока́нъ (dostokán) and late shortened form стака́нъ (stakán), стока́нъ (stokán) (whence Russian стака́н (stakán), dialectal стока́н (stokán)).
