Etymology

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Possibly nominalized derivation of Old Chinese 困 (OC /*kʰˤu-s/, “to surround, to besiege”) (B&S); if true, then non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese 困 (SV: khốn) and doublet of khốn.

For the tonal correspondence between Vietnamese A tones (ngang-huyền) and Qieyun system C tone (去聲), see also đôi, cùng, bèn, etc. See Alves (2018) for some more discussion.”
