Etymology 1

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “I have the feeling that it's related to nhát (“slice”) (from previous Middle Viet. /ml-/, whence also lát) through analogy, although not directly via denasalization of the proto-form like in the case of nhà vs. dà for example (from previous *ɲ- > /j-/).”

Verb

dát • (笪, 鎰, 󱢎)

1. (of metals) to flatten; to hammer into thin sheets
2. (of metals) to overlay; to plate
