Etymology
Shorto proposed that this may have been loaned from Khmu, by comparing its element thốt with Thin Khmu (tŭt) & Yuan Khmu (tu:t, “plant, tree, trunk, stem”); however, Hoàng Xuân Việt (2006) proposes that this is from Khmer ត្នោត (tnaot). Ultimately from Proto-Mon-Khmer *tn(oo)t ~ tnu(u)t (“sugar palm”); another cognate is Central Mnong tɒ:m no:t.
The cluster-breaking mechanism, responsible for doublets like thằn lằn "(lizard") and trăn ("python") (< *k-lən < *tlan (“python”)) might also have broken thốt nốt's proto-form's *tn- cluster as well.
