Usage notes
Sá is the native Vietnamese word that has been replaced by the more common loanword đường, however remains fossilised in compounds such as đường sá (“roads”), sá cày (“furrow”), the latter of which is again contracted to sá in the idiom trâu quá sá (“buffalo beyond [the age to plough] the furrow (lit.); to be past one's prime (fig.)”).
