Etymology

[edit]

Compare Tibetan གཏུག (gtug, “to meet; to touch”) (Hill, 2019). An older theory by STEDT compares the word with Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m/r-tuk (“to cut, knock, pound”), and compares the first two syllables of Burmese တောက်တောက်ကြော် (tauktaukkrau, “fried minced meat”), as well as a wide range of Sinitic words:

  • 擣 (OC *tuːʔ, “to beat, pound rice”)
  • 殊 (OC *to, *djo, “to cut off, die”)
  • 祝 (OC *tjuɡs, *tjuɡ, “to cut off, pray”)
  • 斵, 斫 (OC *tjaɡ, “to chop, carve, chisel, break open”)
  • 椓 (“to beat, strike”)
  • 啄 (OC *rtoːɡ, *toːɡ, “to peck”)
  • 斀 (OC *rtoːɡ, “to castrate”)
  • 誅 (OC *to, “to reprove, punish, kill”)
  • 咮 (OC *tu, *tus, *tos, *tjo, “beak; to peck”)
  • 斸 (OC *toɡ, “to cut, cut out”)

The internet slang sense is a phonetic borrowing from English true.
