I thought it was Turkish too due to huge influx of Turkish words over the course of 500 years occupying that part of the world but when i looked it up the word comes as Albanian ( on google). So i don’t know how accurate it is. But there was a lot of Albanians (šiptari) in those parts and there was and still is pretty decent population of jews in Bosnia especially places like Sarajevo. So i figured it stems from there.
