Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Vietic *ʔəh (to stay); cognate with Muong .

Most prepositions in Vietnamese were originally verbs: cho (to give; for), đến (to come; to), tới (to arrive; to), lên (to go up; onto), vào (to enter; in, into), theo (to follow; according to), về (to return; about).

Similarity to Chinese is coincidental, as semantically the Vietnamese word is a grammaticalized verbal and phonetically there is a tonal mismatch.
