[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *suŋsuŋ (“go against wind or current”).[1] Compare Pangasinan songsong (“contradict; go against the tide”), Kapampangan tapayan sungsung (“Chinese jar”), Agutaynen tongtong (“go against the current”), Cebuano salungsung (“go directly against the current”). Tausug Sungsung (“China”), Malay songsong (“opposite direction”), and Javanese ꦤꦸꦁꦱꦸꦁ (nungsung, “go upstream, toward the source”). See also Sungsong. According to Blust and Trussel (2010), the attribution to China is presumably connected with sailing problems in reaching mainland China from the Philippines.
