Ideogrammic compound (會意会意) : (hill) + (mountain).

Etymology 1

Unclear. Compare Proto-North Bahnaric *ŋŏk ("mountain") (> Halang ngŏk and Sedang ŋɔ). Note also Proto-Hlai *hŋwʔo³ (mountain) and perhaps also Burmese ငေါ (ngau:), (ŋok-ŋak, project, stick up or out), (ŋroŋʼ, any sharp thing sticking out; sharp stump or thorn), and Tibetan རྔོག (rngog, hump) (Schuessler, 2007).

STEDT instead derives it from provisional Proto-Sino-Tibetan *kak (expensive, at its peak) and considers it cognate to (OC *N‑kək; N‑k(r)ək, “ridge of house; the highest point; extreme limit, utmost”), Proto-Lolo-Burmese *kak (expensive, intense, at its peak) (> Lisu (phy²¹ kha³⁵, expensive)), Ersu phɛ⁵⁵ khuɑ⁵⁵ (expensive), and Galo `kog dɨr (peak).
