Etymology

Possibly an Indo-Aryan loanword; compare Sanskrit पोत (pota, “ship”) and सपोत (sapota, “having a ship”). This same word is likely also reflected in Thai สำเภา (sǎm-pao), Lao ສຳເພົາ (sam phao) or ສະເພົາ (sa phao), Khmer សំពៅ (sɑmpɨw),

The "papaya" sense is perhaps because a cut papaya resembles a boat, and the "foreign" sense from foreign traders arriving by boat.
