From Proto-Vietic *kaŋh (“leg, foot”), from a Sino-Tibetan language. Compare Proto-Karen *khaŋᴮ (“foot; leg”) (whence S'gaw Karen ခီၣ် (khaẁ)), Tibetan རྐང (rkang) (as in རྐང་པ (rkang pa), Western Tamang कङ् (kaŋ, “leg”).

Usually theorized as being from Old Chinese 脛 (OC *m-kʰˤeŋ-s) (B-S) (SV: hĩnh), derived from the same Sino-Tibetan root, but the vowel correspondences is irregular.
