bắt cóc in Vietnamese

IPA: [ʔɓat̚˧˦ kawk͡p̚˧˦] [Hà-Nội], [ʔɓak̚˦˧˥ kawk͡p̚˦˧˥] [Huế], [ʔɓak̚˦˥ kawk͡p̚˦˥] [Hồ-Chí-Minh-City] [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: The Đại Nam quấc âm tự vị (1895) explains this as a truncation of the phrase bắt cóc bỏ dĩa (“pointless, futile”, literally “to get a toad and put it on a plate”), since a toad (captive) being put on a plate (useless confinement) can easily jump away; if so, the second element is indeed cóc (“toad”). Still, this might just be a folk etymology. Etymology templates: {{m|vi|bắt cóc bỏ dĩa||pointless, futile|lit=to get a toad and put it on a plate}} bắt cóc bỏ dĩa (“pointless, futile”, literally “to get a toad and put it on a plate”), {{m|vi|cóc||toad}} cóc (“toad”) Head templates: {{head|vi|verb|||head=|tr=}} bắt cóc, {{vi-verb}} bắt cóc
