"etymology_text": "Unknown.\nAttested since the Northern Qi period (c. the 550s). It is likely that this was initially an ideophonic, reduplicative and onomatopoeic word, imitating the indistinct and incomprehensible speech of barbarians.\nMany recent studies (Jao, 1993; Li, 1998; Xu, 2003; Xu, 2005) have favoured the view that the two syllables in this word represent phonetic approximations of the four syllabic liquid consonants in Sanskrit ऋ (ṛ), ॠ (ṝ), ऌ (ḷ) and ॡ (ḹ), which are sounds in Buddhist chants that are minimally distinctive to the Chinese ear.\nThe word has a wide range of meanings; Xu (2005) has proposed the following semantic development:\n:\n“Unintelligible and abstruse speech”\n> both “noisy and tedious” and “bright and capable”\n> “capable person; heroic man”\n> “villains; outlaws; bandits”.\nThroughout history, many theories have been put forth by imperial Chinese scholars to explain the origin of the term, but most of these are now considered folk etymologies.",
