köken: From शरीफ़ (śarīf, “virtuous, good, noble, polite, civil, courteous, sacred, holy, pure”). Unrelated to Sanskrit श्रीफल (śrīphala), though assumed so by many.
köken: Borrowed from Mexican Spanish ates, plural of ate (“quince jelly”) of Nahuatl origin, according to Cuadrado Muñiz (1972). In addition, Blust (2023) stated that the fruit was a native of tropical America, and introduced into Southeast Asia sometime during the 16ᵗʰ century. Compare Ilocano atis, Kapampangan anatis, Central Bikol atis, Cebuano atis, and Chamorro åtes. See also Nepali आँट (ā̃ṭ).
köken: Possibly from Portuguese dona (“noble lady; proprietress; housekeeper; housewife”) with semantic loan from Hokkien 娘仔 (*niô͘-ngiá, “young lady”). See also nyonya, nonya.
