туман
Russian
Etymology
Attested since the 17th century. Borrowed from a Turkic source. Ultimately, probably from Proto-Turkic *dum (“cold”), or from Avestan 𐬛𐬎𐬥𐬨𐬀𐬥 (dunman, “fog, mist”), 𐬛𐬎𐬎𐬄𐬥𐬨𐬀𐬥 (duuąnman, “cloud”).
Compare Turkish duman, Kazakh тұман (tuman), Tatar томан (toman), Persian دود (dūd): دودمان (dūdmān, “smoke, soot”).
