[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]Most likely from Malay [Term?], reconstructed as ber- (“to have; to engage in reciprocal situation”) + aku (“I, my, me”). Doublet of beraku. Malay etymon may be :
- borrowed via Javanese ꦧꦏꦸ (baku, “main, essential, basic; rice-field given to a village head instead of salary”).
- borrowed via Manado Malay baku- (“mutually, reciprocally, each other, one another”).
The sense “standard” is a semantic loan from Dutch standaard via Malay.

Malay
[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]One theory says that it is from Javanese baku (ꦧꦏꦸ, “main, essential, basic; rice-field given to a village head instead of salary”), most likely from Malay [Term?] (reconstructed as ber- (“to have”) + aku (“first personal pronoun”), hence doublet of beraku). Several theories:
- Borrowed via Javanese ꦧꦏꦸ (baku, “main, essential, basic; rice-field given to a village head instead of salary”).
- Borrowed via Manado Malay baku- (“mutually, reciprocally, each other, one another”).
Another alternative proposal is that it is borrowed from Minangkabau baku (“frozen”), compare with beku.
- The sense “standard” is a semantic loan from Dutch standaard.
