From Proto-Sino-Tibetan*baːr(“to bloom; flower”), which is perhaps an areal word (compare Proto-Hmong-Mien*bi̯aŋ(“flower”)). Cognate with Tibetan(ḥbar-ba, “to blossom”), Old Chinese葩 (OC *pʰraː, “flower”), 疤 (OC *praː, “scar”) (STEDT). The "red, pink" sense is derived from how the color of many flowers is pink.
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (pân "spurt, gush out"), and not mentioned by Luce 1981. Based on derived terms like မီးပန်း(mi:pan:, “fireworks”), could this be an extension of the "flower" sense, via "bloom" > "burst out" > "gush out"? Note Chinese火花 (huǒhuā, “fireworks”) for a semantic parallel.”

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (pɑn³ pɑi³ shɑ¹ rɑɑ² "blacksmith"), and Luce adduces no cognates;[3] MED considers this separate from Etymology 1. Perhaps a semantic extension of Etymology 1 ("flower" > "florid work" > "arts and crafts")? For a semantic parallel, compare Punjabiਫੁਲਕਾਰੀ(phulkārī, “traditional Punjabi embroidery”). Lots of derived terms listed for the "flower" sense refer to "embroidery", suggesting that the "art" sense is a semantic extension.”
