Etymology

Possibly borrowed from Philippine Spanish pangasi, itself from Tagalog pangasi with the spelling influenced by Spanish reading conventions in which ng could be reinterpreted as a /ŋɡ/ instead of /ŋ/ sound. Formed from pang- +‎ *asi (rice wine) with the root traced to Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *asi (rice wine) and related to Malay nasi (rice). Possible doublet of pangasi. Alternatively, from pang- +‎ *gasi. Compare Central Bikol pangasi, Cebuano pangasi, Brunei Bisaya pengasi, and Bakung pengasi. Possibly related to basi. See also Hokkien 果子 (ké-chí, fruit).
