Etymology[edit]

From Middle Iranian *čāšak. Compare Persian چاشنی (čâšni, taste; taste by way of a sample). The Iranian word was also borrowed as Sanskrit चषक (caṣaka, cup), Old Georgian ჭაშნიგი (č̣ašnigi, wine), Georgian ჭაშნიკი (č̣ašniḳi, gustation of wine) and Turkish çeşni (flavor, taste). For the root, compare Sanskrit चष् (caṣ, to eat). Related to ճաշ (čaš).
