Etymology
[edit]Does this derive from 替代? 71.66.97.228 00:57, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Possibly. May have been corrupted from old Chinese. The Sino-Vietnamese reading for 替 is thế which often goes with thay in thay thế meaning to change. 代 is read as đại meaning to replace, which is one of the main meanings of đổi.
