See gansa in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɡanˈsaʔ/ [Standard-Tagalog], [ɡ̠ɐn̪ˈsaʔ] [Standard-Tagalog] Forms: gansâ [canonical], ᜄᜈ᜔ᜐ [Baybayin], gangsa [alternative, obsolete]
Rhymes: -aʔ Etymology: Borrowed from Malay gangsa, variant of angsa (“goose”), from Sanskrit हंस (haṃsa), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ȷ́ʰansás (“goose”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰh₂éns (“goose”). Compare Kapampangan galsa, Central Bikol gangsa, Waray-Waray gangsa, Tausug angsa', Malay angsa, Javanese ꦒꦁꦱ (gangsa), Burmese ဟင်္သာ (hangsa), and Hindi हंस (hans). Some sources think it is from Spanish gansa (“female goose”) (also related to Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰh₂éns), but this is rejected by Potet (2016) and Zorc (1982).
