From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *k-ra(p/m) (“needle”). Cognate with Drung wvp and Lolopo hhexr, as well as Old Chinese 針 (OC *kjum, *kjums, “needle”) (with the literature usually comparing the less-common variants 鍼 (OC *ɡam, *ɡram, *kjɯm) and 箴 (OC *kjɯm)) (STEDT).
MED groups the "put things together, proper" senses with the "needle" sense, though it is unclear whether they are etymologically related. Luce's comparison of the "proper" sense with Old Chinese 合 (OC *kuːb, *ɡuːb, “to join, fit”)[1] is phonetically unsound.
