Etymology

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Semantically, 凍 is a good fit. Phonetically however, the lower register tone of đọng is slightly odd, since it would suggest voiced initial for 凍.”

Non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese 凍 (“freeze”, SV: đống).
