Etymology 1

edit
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (chân "exceed, be unique"). Luce gives Old Chinese 盈 (OC *leŋ, “to fill, wax”) as a cognate for the "wax moon" sense,[1] and 善 (OC *ɡjenʔ, “good, clever”) as a cognate for the "extraordinary" sense.[2] Neither comparison is phonetically convincing. On the other hand, 進 (OC *ʔslins, “to advance”) appears more phonetically tenable, as well as semantically fairly reasonable.”
