This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Further etymology not deduced by STEDT (khyan̊ "want"). Looks vaguely like Old Chinese 強 (OC *ɡaŋ, *ɡaŋʔ, “strong”), 緊 (OC *kinʔ, “tense”). Luce adduces 欲 (OC *loɡ, “desire”), Tibetan དགོས (dgos, “to want, need”), དགོངས་པ (dgongs pa, “mind; intent”) as cognates. The Chinese comparandum is considered outdated, with the Chinese being more likely related to လို (lui, “to want”).[1]”
