kaldırım
Turkish
editEtymology
editFrom Ottoman Turkish قالدرم (kaldırım, “pavement, paving, paved road, enbankment, dyke, a cross”), probably derived from Ottoman Turkish قالدرمق (kaldırmak, “to raise, set up, erect”).[1] See kaldırmak. Sometimes connected to Ancient Greek καλός (kalós, “beautiful”) + δρόμος (drómos, “path, road”), but according to Nişanyan this is a folk etymology.[1]
