Foreign Word of the Day: Aşermek

There are words we need to borrow from other languages.  From Turkish, that word of the day is “aşermek”.  Aşermek” is from the Ottoman Turkish یمك (yemek), meaning “to eat, consume”, further derived from Proto-Turkic prefix, “jē-”, “to eat”.  This word is used colloquially for pregnant women to refer to the food cravings they experience.
