Pronunciation: [tˈɜːkiz] (IPA) 
The word "Turkis" is often misspelled as "Turquoise". However, the correct spelling is with a single "o". The IPA phonetic transcription for "Turkis" is /ˈtɜːrkɪs/. The "ur" sound in the beginning is followed by a long "e" sound, represented by the letter "i". The final "s" is pronounced as an unvoiced "s" sound. Turkis is a shade of blue-green color named after the country of Turkey, where the mineral turquoise was historically mined.
The word "Turkis" is an adjective that is derived from the noun "Turk". The etymology of "Turk" can be traced back to the Old Turkic word "Türük", which referred to a group of Central Asian nomadic tribes. The term eventually evolved and expanded to encompass the various peoples and civilizations of Anatolia, Central Asia, and the wider Turkic world. It passed into different languages through historical interactions and conquests, retaining its general meaning of "Turkish" or "related to the Turks". Thus, "Turkis" emerged as an adjective to describe things related to or originating from the Turks or their culture.
