Non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese 務 (“to seek”, SV: vụ) (Haudricourt, 1954); cognate with Muong mua.
The common Vietic word for “to buy” is chác (from Proto-Vietic *caːk), now obsolete and mainly used in compounds. See also tậu, a Tai loanword, and sắm, which has originally meaning of "to prepare".
