Vietnamese

Pronunciation

[edit]

Etymology 1

[edit]

From Middle Vietnamese blào.

Even if this word was not derived from Chinese (cháo) (SV: triều) (since it is not possible to expain the labial-lateral ‹bl-› cluster attested in Middle Vietnamese with 潮), trào almost certainly received significant semantic influence from the Sinitic word.

Verb

[edit]

trào ()

  1. to overflow, to brim over
    • 2013, Ngọc Tài Trần, Thường Huệ Nguyên, Cốt tủy thực dưỡng, Công ty Văn hóa Hương Trang, page 145:
      Thêm muối và nấu nhừ trong 1 giờ (đậy hở nắp và đừng cho cháo trào).
      Add salt and let stew thoroughly for one hour (lid partially on and avoid the congee boiling over).

Etymology 2

[edit]

Non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese (tide, SV: triều).

Might be considered Sino-Vietnamese proper and not just a non-Sino-Vietnamese reading.
