Orthographic variants
Orkhon script 𐰖𐰽𐰞 (y¹s¹l¹ /⁠yašïl⁠/)

Etymology

By surface analysis, 𐽶𐽰𐽿𐽹𐽰𐽲 (yʾšmʾq /⁠yaš-⁠/, “to get wet, to be fresh”) +‎ -𐽶𐾁 (-yl /⁠-ïl⁠/, “deverbal suffix”), from Proto-Turkic *yāĺïl (“red”). Compare the identical suffixation in 𐽲𐽶𐽴𐽶𐾁 (qyzyl /⁠ḳïz- + -ïl⁠/).

This word appears to have fallen out of use around 10th-11th century, replaced by 𐽷𐽳𐽶𐽷 (kwyk, “blue, green”).
