Etymology 1 edit
From Proto-Vietic *ɟiːŋ (“leg, foot”), from Proto-Mon-Khmer *ɟuŋ ~ *ɟuəŋ ~ *ɟəŋ (“leg, foot”). Cognate with Muong chân, Pacoh adyưng, Bahnar jơ̆ng, Khmer ជើង (cəəng), Mon ဇိုၚ်, Jah Hut jong, Jehai can.
Final velar *-ŋ was palatalized to *-ɲ after front vowel; this new form with *-ɲ (reconstructed as Proto-Viet-Muong *ciɲ by Ferlus) then gave rise to the modern form with ‹n›. See also lên, đến, cù lần for other instances of palatalization of *-ŋ after front vowels.
