Where it comes from

From Russian Узбекистан (Uzbekistan), itself from Classical Persian اُزْبَکِسْتَان (uzbakistān). Ultimately uncertain; possibly from Turkic uz (“genuine”) + Sogdian [Term?] (/⁠bek⁠/, “master”) (for the second element, see Turkish bey). The suffix is from Classical Persian ـِستان (istān, “place of”). By surface analysis, Uzbek + -i- + -stan.

proper noun Uzbekhistan

  1. A country in Central Asia. Official name: Republic of Uzbekistan. Capital: Tashkent. Several officers are going to train border police in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, which border Afghanistan, and in several other countries.
