Etymology 1

[edit]

    Sino-Vietnamese word from 冰. Quite recently displaced native giá, now found chiefly in compounds.

    Compare this diễn nghĩa example from Hiếu kinh diễn nghĩa, written in Southern Vietnamese:

    4th century BCE (original Chinese), anonymous author, Hiếu Kinh 孝經:
    詩(thi)云(vân)戰(chiến)戰(chiến)兢(căng)兢(căng)如(như)臨(lâm)深(thâm)淵(uyên)如(như)履(lí)薄(bạc)冰(băng)
    It is said in the Book of Poetry: Be apprehensive, be cautious, as if on the brink of a deep abyss, as if treading on thin ice.
    1893 (diễn nghĩa), diễn nghĩa by Trương Minh Ký, Hiếu kinh diễn nghĩa:
    Thi rằng: E lệ lo âu, như sang giá mỏng vực sâu khác gì!
    It is said in the Book of Poetry: Be apprehensive, be cautious, as if treading on thin ice and crossing deep abyss.

    See also this example from Nam học Hán văn khoá bản, written in Northern Vietnamese.

    1920, Nguyễn Can Mộng, “Bài 12”, in Nam học Hán văn khoá bản:
    冰 Băng=giá, la glace.
    冰 Băng=ice, la glace.
