Etymology 2

[edit]

Norman & Mei (1976: 296-7)[1] propose an Austroasiatic origin and consider it cognate to Mon ဒံၚ် (tòŋ, to dance while under daemonic possession; to proceed by leaps), ဒေါၚ် (tòŋ, shaman called in to organise kəlok dances), etc.; they even propose Austroasiatic etymology for Chinese (“(dialectal) shaman”). Sagart (2008:142) counts Vietnamese đồng among "Austroasiatic terms", yet he considers the resemblance between those and Chinese (“(dialectal) shaman”) to be "undoubtedly fortuitous".[2]

However, Vietnamese đồng is also likely a Sino-Vietnamese word from (child; servant; (dialectal) shaman).

Noun

[edit]

đồng

  1. (occult, divination) a medium
    ông đồngmale medium
    đồngfemale medium
    thứ nhất ngồi đồng, thứ nhì chồng quansitting (as) a medium ranks first; having an official for a husband ranks second [among the best things for women]
    • 1820, Nguyễn Du (阮攸), Truyện Kiều (傳翹) [The Tale of Kieu], Liễu Văn Ðường edition, published 1866, line 1162:
      𨔍(Lạ)()󰜋(một)(cốt)󰜋(một)(đồng)(xưa)󰅒(nay)
      Little wonder that the witch and the medium have been working hand in glove with each other!
