Vietnamese

Etymology

From Proto-Vietic *k-raːp (wax), probably from Old Chinese (OC *k.rˤap) (B-S) (SV: lạp). However, as the Chinese word was not attested until the 2nd to 3rd century CE, the loan direction could be from Proto-Vietic into Old Chinese instead.[1][2][3] In that case, the Proto-Vietic could be from another Sino-Tibetan source; compare Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-krjap (bug; ant; insect (lac); cochineal), whence Burmese ချိပ် (hkyip, lac), Proto-Loloish *C-gripᴸ (lac; pine), Jingpho krep (bedbug).
