Etymology

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *kroːŋ, *qʰroːŋ): semantic 肉 (“flesh; body”) + phonetic 工 (OC *koːŋ). Unclear. A relatively late word, not attested until the Middle Chinese period. Schuessler (2007) suggests that it may be related to Tibetan གཞང (gzhang, “anus”), but the vowels pose a problem in phonological correspondence (STEDT). It may be in the same family as 空 (OC *kʰoːŋ, *kʰoːŋs, “empty; hollow”) and 孔 (OC *kʰloːŋʔ, “hole”), which both are derived from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(g/k)uŋ (“hole; orifice”), but STEDT suggests that Proto-Sino-Tibetan *k(w)a(ŋ/k) (“waist; hips; buttocks; tail; back”) may be a better etymon.
