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 童 (“(dialectal) shaman”). Sagart (2008:142) counts Vietnamese đồng among "Austroasiatic terms", yet he considers the resemblance between those and Chinese 童 (“(dialectal) shaman”) to be "undoubtedly fortuitous".[2]

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

Noun

[edit]

đồng

  1. (occult, divination) a medium
    ông đồng ― male medium
    bà đồng ― female medium
    thứ nhất ngồi đồng, thứ nhì chồng quan ― sitting (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)之(gì)󰜋(một)骨(cốt)󰜋(một)同(đồng)初(xưa)󰅒(nay)
      Little wonder that the witch and the medium have been working hand in glove with each other!
