Etymology 1

More information simp. and trad., alternative forms ...

Wang (1982) relates this word to () "ruin-mound". However, Schuessler (2007) disagrees.

Schuessler considers two homophones , "hill, mound" and "village, district" to be the same word as settlements were often built on elevated grounds (for a parallel see (jīng)) and traces this word's etymology to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r/g-wa (village); within Sinitic, (OC *kʰʷɯ) is cognate with (OC *rɯʔ) "village" and (OC *kreː, *kreː) "road crossing, street"; outsides Sinitic, cognate with Mizo khua (village), Lai khûa (village, cosmos), and Burmese ရွာ (rwa, village) (STEDT).
