===Etymology 1===
{{zh-forms|ss=䒙|alt=蔵,匨,𢧿}}

{{zh-ref|Baxter and Sagart (2014)}} reconstructs {{och-l|藏|tr=*m-tsʰˤaŋ|to store}} with an ''*m-'' prefix, which changes {{och-l|倉|tr=*tsʰˁaŋ|granary}} into a volitional verb. Cognate with {{cog|bo|གསང||secret; conceal}}, {{m|bo|འཚང||to press into}} ({{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}); STEDT provisionally reconstructs {{cog|tbq-pro|*C-(t)saŋ||to bury; to conceal}}.
