Tagalog

Etymology 1

From Proto-Central Philippine *tubig, from Proto-Greater Central Philippine *tubig (cf. Asi tubi, Buhi'non
Bikol tobig, Capiznon tubi, Ilocano tubbog, and Mansaka tobig). Dempwolff (1938) posited it to be from
Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *tubiʀ (cf. Malay tubir) but the meaning in Central Philippine languages is
consistently "water" or "juice", and no forms have been found to bridge the semantic gap with the Malay
term, making the etymology unlikely.
