German Leder, English leather, Greek δέρμα (dérma), Latin tergus.
I have a supposal:
Old Turkish: TERI: Skin, Leather (animal skin)
modern Turkish: deri
We see this old Turkish word in
Irk Bitig (Old Turkish: 𐰃𐰺𐰴 𐰋𐰃𐱅𐰃𐰏 (Book of Omens) not later than 900 AD)
We read: Tabışgan TERIsi üngüşüpen yügürü barmiş.
TERI: Skin, Leather (animal skin),(modern Tr. deri)
