"cởi" meaning in Vietnamese

See cởi in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: [kəːj˧˩] [Hà-Nội], [kəːj˧˨] [Huế], [kəːj˨˩˦] (note: Saigon) Forms: 𢶒 [CJK], [CJK], cổi [alternative]
Etymology: Non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese 解 (“to loosen; to untie; to unfasten; etc.”, SV: giải). Its velar initial and rime suggest it was borrowed from a post-Old Chinese but pre-Middle Chinese layer; meanwhile, hỏi-tone, instead of expected **sắc typical of early loans, hints that its ancestor retained the meanings of tone-B 解 yet acquired the reading of tone-C 解 (“to pawn, to mortgage; to introduce a scholar to the imperial palace; to send under escort; etc.”) (see thính, tỉnh, sảnh, etc. for analogies).
