Etymology
From Proto-Vietic *kəc ~ *kɨc, from Proto-Mon-Khmer *ʔic ~ *ʔiə[c] ~ *ʔ[ə]c. Cognate with Vietnamese cứt (“shit”).
For the semantic development, compare Malay tahi besi, Javanese ꦠꦲꦶ (tai), Burmese သံချေး (samhkye:), Chepang खय (khəy), all mean "rust".
The original meaning was taken over by é, a cognate of Vietnamese ỉa (“to shit”), and is now both a verb and a noun.
