Where this word comes from

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish باجاق (bacak, “leg; thigh”), from Proto-Turkic *bakań(ak) or *bakačuk (“leg”, literally “little frog”), diminutive of *b(i)āka (“frog”). For a parallel animal simile see Latin musculus (“muscle”, literally “little mouse”). Cognates Cognate with Azerbaijani bacaq, Crimean Tatar bacaq and Kazakh бақай (baqay), but compare also Karakhanid بَقانَقْ (baqanaq, baqayaq) or بَقانُقْ (baqanuq, baqayuq, “the 'frog' in a horse's hoof, the gap between the hooves of ungulates”).
