According to Miyagi (2003:967), derived from a Chinese source 靴 (xuē). Compare Xiang reading xya1 ~ xye1.

Alternatively, according to Miyanaga (1930:index p. 95), it is derived from the same source as Japanese 火屋 (hoya, “fireplace”), via "fire" + "building", but this is problematic on semantic grounds.
