Etymology

Characters in the same phonetic series (保) (Zhengzhang, 2003)

	Old Chinese
襃	puː, puː
保	*puːʔ
堡	*puːʔ
褓	*puːʔ
堢	*puːʔ
緥	*puːʔ
葆	*puːʔ
賲	*puːʔ
宲	*puːʔ
椺	ɦmluːʔ, ɢʷeːɡs, *ɢeːɡ

The earliest attestation is found in Robert Morrison's A Dictionary of the Chinese Language (1815-1823) (Zhang, 2016).

There are various proposals regarding the etymology of the word:

From Old Chinese:
- From 釜 (OC *baʔ, “pot; cauldron”) (Chan, 1995; Xu, 2002);
- From 鍑 (OC *puɡs, *puɡ, “pot; cauldron”) (Zhang Taiyan's Xin Fangyan);
- From 缶 (OC *puʔ, “earthen jar”) (Pan, 2016);
- From 缹 (OC *puʔ, “to cook”) (Kong, 1933).
From a word in the language of the natives in Lingnan, recorded in 《北戶錄》 as 褒 (MC paw) (as in 褒牛頭) (Luo, 1960; Huang, 2011).
From English Category:Chinese terms borrowed from English#火09 Category:Chinese terms derived from English#火09 boil (Zhang, 2016).
