Etymology 1
From အ- (a.-, “nominal prefix”) + a component နက် (nak) of uncertain origin. STEDT gives no etymology (ə-nak "interpretation of a word, translation, version"), while Luce compares Old Chinese 內 (OC *nuːbs, “interior, inner”) and Tibetan ནང (nang, “internal, inside”);[1] these appear phonetically problematic. A semantic extension of the "depth" sense in Etymology 2 also seems plausible, with shift "depth" > "heart of a matter" > "meaning".
