Inherited from Proto-Lolo-Burmese *pu (“pumpkin, gourd”). Cognate with Akha phù (“gourd”), as well as, outside of Lolo-Burmese, Old Chinese 匏 (OC *bruː, “gourd”), 瓢 (OC *bew, “gourd; dried gourd ladle”) (STEDT).
The "container" sense, though not linked to the "gourd" sense by STEDT (bu⁵⁵ "box / case"), appears to be derived from the "gourd" sense, as hollowed-out gourds can be used as containers and cases.
