Etymology 1[edit]

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Any chances this could be a compound? The alternative form is "mày đay", and "mày" (eyebrows) and "đay" (jute) both have a feature of growing in clusters like weed or grass, possibly hinting at dots from urticaria appearing in the same manner? Or perhaps "mề" as in gizzards of a bird could be related to this.”
