Etymology

Inherited from Middle Russian иша́къ (išák), ише́къ (išék), attested in 1567 and 1623. Further borrowed from Turkic languages, probably from Kipchak. Compare Tatar ишәк (işäk), Bashkir ишәк (işək), also Turkish eşek, Crimean Tatar eşek, Azerbaijani eşşək), ultimately from Proto-Turkic *eĺčgek, which is related to Proto-Tungusic *eyiken and Proto-Mongolic *elǰigen. (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?)
