Etymology

[edit]
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Doesn't seem to be mentioned by STEDT (closest thing is "yui-: mock", which is given no etymology). MED considers the word atomic, which is probably correct, as meanings for the component syllables သ (sa., “to keep trim and presentable, sharpen a spear”) and ရော် (rau, “to call or cry, yearn; to wither, age”) do not seem to be related (though the "call or cry" could be related). Note the striking similarity of the whole word, including both syllables, to Old Chinese 嘲 (OC *ʔr'eːw, “to mock, ridicule; to twitter”).”
