Comments:KW 233, MGCD 346. Doerfer (TMN 1, 469) gives the meaning as 'Teil, Anteil, Glück, Schicksalslos' and regards the word as borrowed < Turk. *kesik (should be rather *kesek) 'piece'. The sources available to us, however, only give the meaning 'luck, grace' (see L 460, KW 233 etc.) which is absent in Turkic. Therefore the word is hardly borrowed < Turkic.
