Schuessler (2007) takes its first appearance in Chu Ci as suggestive of foreign origin. Possibly related to:

• Proto-Tai *C̥.doːjᴬ (“mountain”) (whence Thai ดอย (dɔɔi), Saek [script needed] (rɔ:jᴬ¹), Zhuang ndoi)
• Proto-Hmong-Mien *glaɨᴰ (“mountain”), or
• Austroasiatic, e.g. Middle Mon [script needed] (duiw, “hill, hilltop”)

Possibly connected with 屯 (OC *duːn).
