Etymology
considers it a cognate of 🇨🇬 as part of the hypothetical Sino-Tibetan-Austronesian language family. Blust (2013: 713), however, finds this comparison unconvincing because of the apparently arbitrary and phonetically unjustified fluctuation between Old Chinese *-k and Proto-Austronesian *-ŋ.

Cognates of this word are found in a handful of Tibeto-Burman languages, such as 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬. This etymon should be kept separated from, and. The first two may belong to 🇨🇬, while the last one may be related to 🇨🇬, along with 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬.

Etymology
Area word (rice culture originated in the south). Often compared with 🇨🇬, whence 🇨🇬.

The relationship with similar-looking Mon-Khmer words is ambiguous. proposes a connection to 🇨🇬, which in turn is linked to 🇨🇬, as the two plants share the same farming niche.

Alternatively, derives this word from. If so, since the 🇨🇬 comparandum only has the derived sense of “rice”, it would be borrowed from Chinese rather than the other way around.

The native Min word may be a variant (, apud, p.c.).

Usage notes

 * In western Europe, and later the United States, universities were typically founded by executive act (e.g. royal charter) and were generally relatively large (compared to colleges), offering postgraduate degrees in addition to undergraduate degrees. In other countries, this distinction is not made and any degree-granting institution is called a university.
 * In the United States, Ireland, and the Philippines, students will sometimes say that they go to "the university" or to "a university", but they are far more likely to say they are going "to college", even if the institution they attend is a university. In the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most other English-speaking countries, students go "to university (or uni)", without the article, if they are attending a school that grants bachelor's or postgraduate degrees.

Etymology 2
Generally considered to be a Mongolian influence in the – an abbreviation of, from  (> 🇨🇬), a derivative of  (> 🇨🇬).

Mongolian ǰam is undoubtedly cognate with 🇨🇬 (> 🇨🇬; ~ 🇨🇬) with the same meaning; see. Also compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.

There is no scholarly consensus regarding the direction of borrowing. Generally it is believed that Turkic jam and Chinese zhàn are loanwords from Mongolian ǰam, however some (e.g. Tuymebayev in Казахско-монгольские лексические параллели) believe the directionality is reversed (i.e. Chinese "to stand > stand > station" → Middle Mongol → Turkic → Russian). Whatever the etymology, what is apparent is that the word jam has been around for a long time and was used by Central Asians to designate a key postal relay station or official.

In Chinese, this word has been competing with the native equivalent since its introduction. Mongol-ruled Yuan Dynasty saw a profusion of usages of zhàn, which was deliberately suppressed in the succeeding in favour of yì. Both were used in the subsequent, with zhàn eventually predominating in the modern times, being used to render the sense of "station" in modern concepts, such as "train station". Other Sinosphere countries show preference variations too: Vietnamese uses 站, whereas Japanese and Korean still use 驛 for "station" (Japanese , Korean ).
