Etymology 1

Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (caŋ "frame, stage"). Luce gives Old Chinese 床 (OC *zraŋ, “bed; frame; stand”) as a cognate.[1] The Chinese term is thought to be a Mon-Khmer borrowing; if the Burmese is also related, then Burmese also borrowed the word from a Mon-Khmer language.”
