Tibetan
Etymology
Bodman (1980), apud Schuessler (2007), relates this to Old Chinese 蠶 (OC *dzə̂m) "silkworm".[1][2] STEDT derives the Chinese, though not the Tibetan, from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *tip ~ *tu(p/m) (“to wrap up”), whence Burmese ထုပ် (htup, “to wrap, bundle”). If the Tibetan is related, the spider could be conceived of as a "bug which wraps up its prey".
