Turkish
Etymology
Nişanyan claims that this word developed by itself as a Lallwort. However, the examples he gives of how this word is imitating the sounds of people defecating are all from Indo-European languages, with their reconstructed ancestor being Proto-Indo-European *kakka- (“to defecate”). This, combined with how other Turkic languages don't have a word of the same origin and meaning, makes it much more likely that this is instead a borrowing. If so, most likely from Greek κακά (kaká).
Compare Finnish kakka and Estonian kaka, other non-Indo-European languages in close contact with Indo-European ones, bearing similar words that were seemingly not inherited from their proto-languages.
