editEtymology
editPossibly from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *baʀuaŋ (“bear”), whence Malay beruang. The meaning changed from "bear" to "beast" and then to its current definition, having lost its original meaning due to lack of bears in the Cebuano homeland. Compare this semantic change in Tagalog halimaw, which originally meant "panther/lion".
