Etymology

[edit]

Compare Proto-Sino-Tibetan *tsuk ⪤ *tsik (“to build”) (STEDT). Cognate with Tibetan རྫོང (rdzong, “castle; fortress”), Burmese ဆောင် (hcaung, “room; chamber; hall”) (Schuessler, 2007).

an administrative division in historical Tibet or present-day Bhutan
Borrowed from Tibetan རྫོང (rdzong, “district; province”), and thus distantly cognate with the native senses including "ancestral temple" and "revere".
