Etymology: "Alteration of Chinese."

[edit]

and not from chink (narrow opening)? really? —Suzukaze-c 01:41, 17 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I can't see how it's not an alteration of Chinese. The existence of the word chink may have had an influence on the form of the alteration, but I don't see why it would be from "narrow opening". (And even then, it was influenced by Chinese.)--Prosfilaes (talk) 20:56, 17 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
