Etymology
From Proto-Vietic *heːt, from Proto-Mon-Khmer *ʔət ~ *ʔəət (“used up, finished, lacking”). Cognate with Thavung hɨ́t ("all"), Bahnar ơ̆t (“to hold breath, to fast”), Proto-Katuic *ʔet (“exhausted”) (whence Kuy ʔɛt ("tired")), Mon အိုတ် (“to be finished, exhausted”), Khmer អត់ (ʼɑt), Pear ʔet ("not"), Sa'och ʔeːt ("all"), Riang ʔət¹ ("to stop, to halt").
