Etymology

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Compare đồn for a case of simple stop in Vietnamese corresponding to late Old Chinese Cr- (where C is an unspecified consonant). If this was borrowed from a later stage of Old Chinese though, the tone would be irregular.”

Probably a non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese (SV: trúng).
