Etymology[edit]

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “seems like trong +‎ vắt. that said, does vắt mean "to squeeze, wring out" here? it makes figurative sense to have something be "clear and pure as if it were squeeze-extracted"; is this correct?”
