Etymology 1
STEDT compares it to, including 🇨🇬 as a descendant.

However, Zev Handel considers comparison to this root to be improbable since the meaning of "husband; young man" is not attested in early texts. These senses seem to develop from "an official's title", which was a metonymic extension of "veranda or corridor (of a palace or mansion)" (later written as ). suggests that the 🇨🇬 word is a loan from Chinese.
