The [[Old Turkic]] ''yurt'' ({{gloss|tent, dwelling, abode, range}}) may have been derived from the Old Turkic word ''ur''—a verb with the suffix +Ut.<ref>{{cite web |title=Yurt |url=https://nisanyansozluk.com/?k=yurt |access-date=24 August 2020 |website=Nişanyan Sözlük}}</ref> In modern Turkish and Uzbek, the word ''yurt'' is used as the synonym for 'homeland' or a 'dormitory', while in modern Azerbaijani, ''yurd'' mainly signifies 'homeland' or 'motherland'. In Russian, the structure is called ''yurta'' (юрта), whence the word came into English.
