Where this word comes from
Inherited from Ottoman Turkish یاس (yas, “mourning, grieving”), from Proto-Turkic *yās (“loss, damage; shame”). The semantic development may have been influenced by unrelated Arabic يَأْس (yaʔs, “despair”), whence also the borrowing yeis. Cognates Cognate with Azerbaijani yas, Chagatai یاس (yās), Old Uyghur 𐽶𐽰𐽻 (yas), Turkmen yās and Yakut саат (saat).
