Etymology 2

From Ottoman Turkish بولمك (sürmek, to rub on or against), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (sür-, to rub), from Proto-Turkic *sür(-t)- (to rub, smear), which, according to the controversial Altaic hypothesis, is possibly derived from Proto-Altaic *ši̯ŭ́re (to rub, polish).[2] Cognate to sürtmek, see more cognates there.
