Vietnamese
Etymology
Cognate with Chut patĭŋ³ (Babaev & Samarina, 2018).
Formally, this looks like a causative prefixed (Proto-Vietic prefix *pr- ~ *p-) derivative of a root. This root is probably of Sinitic origin and related to the modern Sino-Vietnamese morpheme định (定), i.e. "to make fixed" or "to cause to be fixed". Another possibility is that the root is related to đính (釘) instead.
