Etymology
- “shield”
- Compare Burmese လွှား (hlwa:, “oblong shield”) (Starostin). It is unclear whether Chepang [script needed] (dhəl) is related (Schuessler, 2007). This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
- “dong”
- Borrowed from Vietnamese đồng, from Chinese 銅 (MC duŋ, “copper”).
1849 “godless florin”
- “guilder; gulden; rupiah”
- Probably first referred to the two shilling coin, also known as the florin, which had four crowned cruciform shields with a rose in the centre. It was later used for the Dutch guilder, which replaced an older currency known as the florin. Since the guilder was used in Indonesia, when the rupiah replaced it, the Chinese name for the guilder continued to be used for the rupiah.
