Etymology 2 edit
From Proto-Vietic *r-koːʔ (“husked rice”), from Proto-Mon-Khmer *rk(aw)ʔ (“husked rice”). Cognate with Muong cảo, Khmer អង្ករ (ʼɑngkɑɑ, “uncooked, dehusked rice”), Khasi khaw, Chong rəkʰəw and Gata' rekoˀ ("uncooked rice"). According to Sagart (2003), Proto-Tai *C̬.qawꟲ (“rice”), whence Thai ข้าว (kâao), Lao ເຂົ້າ (khao), Lü ᦃᧁᧉ (ẋaw²), was borrowed from Austroasiatic.
