From Proto-Vietic *k-ʔoːs (“guava (?)”), from Proto-Mon-Khmer *pʔus ~ *pʔuus (“guava (?)”). Cognate with Muong ối, Koho pö'ous, Mang ʔuːj⁶.
Despite Shorto (2006) and Ferlus (2007)'s glosses, the respective Proto-Mon-Khmer and Proto-Vietic etyma might have originally referred to another kind of fruit resembling the New World imported guava (Psidium guajava).
