===Etymology===
Probably a {{der|yue|qfa-tak}} substrate word ({{zh-ref|Li, 1990}}). Compare {{cog|za|ngamq||just; exactly; only}}, {{cog|lic|ngamx||suitable}}, {{cog|th|งาม||beautiful}}, {{cog|vi|ngám||just right}}.

Alternatively, some postulate that this is derived from {{zh-l|*恰|tr=hap1|just; coincidentally; suitable}} or {{zh-l|*諳|tr=am1|to know; familiar with}}.
