MerakvsMeraki
The short answer
One Ottoman seed, two harvests. Greek meraki grew toward craftsmanship — care poured into work. South Slavic merak grew toward savouring — pleasure taken slowly. Neither matches the modern Turkish sense of curiosity or worry, which is what the word still means where it came from.
