Etymology 1

Sino-Vietnamese word from 囊.

Noun

nang

1. follicle

Etymology 2

From Proto-Vietic *p-naːŋ. Cognate with Thavung pənaːŋ¹. Doublet of tân lang.

Related to Eastern Katu panang, Malay pinang, Rade mnang, Bih pinang, Chinese 檳榔／槟榔 (bīngláng). Due to the extremely limited distribution of this word in Austroasiatic (Vietic, Katuic) and Austronesian (Malayo-Chamic), it is difficult to trace the exact source. The Chinese word is obviously a loan, most likely from an Austronesian language.
