𐰉𐰃𐰨𐰆

Derived from Proto-Turkic *abï- (“to enjoy oneself, to comfort”), via the intermediary derived form of *abï-n-ču ("one who comforts, one who makes another enjoy oneself"). Cognate with Karakhanid اَڤِنْجُو (avïnču, “a thing that gives enjoyment and pleasure; concubine”), Khorezmian Turkic كویكول اونچاسی (köŋül avunčasï, “comfort of heart”) and Ottoman Turkish آونمق (avunmak, “to be occupied with something in mind”).

Compare 𐽰𐽰𐽱𐽶𐾀𐽹𐽰𐽲 (ʾʾβytmʾq /⁠avïtmaḳ⁠/, “to console or to spoil a child”), from the same Proto-Turkic root.
