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.
