Abstract

Many lexical units of the language and their meanings need etymological analysis of the origin
and history of certain words. Etymology as a branch of lexicology explores the theoretical foundations and
methodological improvement of the analysis.
To find out the purpose of determining the origin and history of a certain word or words, it is necessary to
find out the primary meaning of some words, and in other words secondary, i.e., derived meanings, in third
lexemes, the meaning of lexical phraseological phrases, in winged expressions, sayings and proverbs, as result
of collecting and analyzing materials and draw certain conclusions.
The setting of such goals and objectives has existed since the formation of the science of language. Because
the origin and history of words and their meanings have been of interest to the population for practical purposes,
and scientists for scientific purposes.
The main object of the study is the history of the semantics of words. The authors have used such techniques
and methods as diachrony-synchrony, analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, component, and complex
analysis of the retrospective method. The article considers all lexical, stylistic, and grammatical meanings, grammatical forms in the form of root
and derived morphemes, as well as semantics in the composition of lexical and stable word combinations of the
common Turkic root word «ot». The analyses covered the linguistic materials of the Turkic written monuments
and modern Turkic languages. Etymological analyses of the etymon «ot» are theoretically based on the 5
principles of etymological theory developed by authors. These principles of etymological theory word include:
semantics – semantic derivation – derivational process – types of reconstruction and semantic reconstruction –
comparative bases of word etymology. Etymological analysis of the word «ot» is carried out at the phonemic,
morphemic, lexemic, and syntagmatic levels, i.e., it is subjected to a comprehensive analysis.
As a result of comprehensive consideration of the Turkic etymon «ot» in aspects of the semantics of root
words, derived words semantics and the semantics of the complex words it can be concluded that archiseme of
the etymon «ot» – value is «plant»
