Özet:

The origin of the word kütük (log) is controversial. In addition to those who argue that the word is of Turkish origin, there are also those who say that the word is of Latin origin. The idea that the word kütük (log) is loaned the Latin cōdex, cōdic- is the basis of the view that the word is of Latin origin. The existence of küt+ noun radix in Turkish proves that the root of the word is Turkish. When the structure of the word 'kütük' is examined, it becomes clear that the +k suffix, which makes a noun from a noun, is not common in Turkish. In Turkish, there is the suffix -k, which makes nouns from verbs. For this reason, it seems logical to base the word on the verb küt- "to cut something, to leave it missing". The word seems to be formed with the suffix -k, which makes a noun from the verb. In Turkish the suffix -k, which makes nouns from verbs, is widely used. The presence of this suffix in the structure of the word supports the view that the word is of Turkish origin. There is a possibility that the verb of küt- was nominalisation later. The noun root küt+, which we say exists in our opinion, can be nominalisation root from the verb küt-.
