Etymology
From Hokkien [Term?],[1] possibly:[2]
- 花 (hoe, “flower”) + 當 (tǹg, “pawn; bet”) according to Manuel (1948).[3]
- 花 (hoe, “flower”) + 檔 (tòng, “space”) according to Chan-Yap (1977) while transcribing the latter character as ⟨“tn”⟩,[4] though in Chan-Yap (1980), she transcribed the latter instead as ⟨“tŋ̣̆”⟩ (POJ: tǹg) with a different character, 擋 (tòng),[5] but Chinese publications in the Philippines currently use 花檔/花档 to refer to the game.[6][7] According to (Wang, 1982), 擋 used to be written as 當.
Compare Hokkien 迴轉, 會堂, or 花燈.
