Where this word comes from
Inherited from Ottoman Turkish یخشی (yahşi), from Old Anatolian Turkish یخشی (yaḫşı), یقشی (yaqşı) which was borrowed from a non-Oghuz subbranch according to L. Johanson, from Proto-Turkic *yakšï, ultimately a derivation from Proto-Turkic *yak- (“good”), whence Turkish yakış- (“to look good”). Doublet of yakışık. One of the Turkic-derived words (such as od, kara displaced whole and in part respectively by Persian-derived ateş and siyah) that are fully or partially dated in the standard language and most dialects since early 20th century.
