Etymology[edit]
Described in Qimin Yaoshu [544 CE] and Taiping Yulan [983 CE].
Borrowed from a Southern language, possibly a Mon-Khmer or Austronesian language. Compare Northern Khmer นาดพลฺืง (“a kind of betel leaf bush”), Thavung พะเล้อฺ (“betel”); Proto-Vietic *p-naːŋ; Eastern Katu panang; Malay pinang; Acehnese pineung, Tsat naːŋ³³ (< Proto-Chamic *pinaːŋ (“betel nut”)), as well as Proto-Mon-Khmer *ml[əw] (“betel”), whence Khmer ម្លូ (mluu), Northern Khmer มลู, Vietnamese trầu (< Proto-Vietic *b-luː), Thai พลู (pluu) and perhaps Chinese 扶留 (OC *pa/ba m·ru/m·rus, “a leaf chewed together with betel nut”).
