Etymology

[edit]
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (chuiŋ "shop"), and Luce 1981 doesn't appear to cover this word's finals (-UIṄ). Bears very vague resemblance to Old Chinese 店 (OC *tiːms, “shop, store”). Per Hill 2019, due to the word's -uing final, probably a Mon loanword. Sense development, assuming the "shop" and "stack, meet" senses are all related, might be something like "to stack sheaves" > "to stack goods" > "establishment with goods for sale (shop)".”
