===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}
{{Han compound|水|覃|alt1=氵|ls=psc|c1=s|c2=p}}.

===Etymology===
A late Old Chinese southern word attested in ''{{w|Chuci}}''. Probably a foreign loan; compare {{cog|qfa-kms-pro|*tʰlam¹||well; pond; pool}} ({{zh-ref|Thurgood, 1988}}). {{och-l|塘|embankment; pond}} is perhaps a variant of this word ({{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}).

Alternatively, possibly related to {{och-l|深|deep}}. {{ncog|my|ထုံး||large; pool}} differs in initial and vowel.
