Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Tibeto-Burman *b/m-laŋ, Proto-Sino-Tibetan *b/m-laŋ (penis; male; husband). Cognate with the second syllable of Jingpho [script needed] (ne³¹ laŋ³³, penis), Old Chinese (OC *klaːŋ, “bull, stud”); older comparisons to (OC *raːŋ, “husband, young man”) are improbable (see there for more) (STEDT).

The "complete" sense is grouped etymologically with the "husband" sense by MED, and isn't mentioned by STEDT or Luce 1981.
