köken: Probably a back-formation of doccione (“conduit, spout”), from Latin ductiōnem, from ducere, infinitive of dūcō (“lead, guide; draw, pull”), or alternatively from a Vulgar Latin root *ducea, ultimately from the same root. Compare Dozza, a borrowing from Emilian Dòza.
köken: Ultimately from Old Persian *𐎴𐎡𐏀𐎣 (*n-i-z-k /naizaka-/), borrowed from Old Median *náyzakam, from Proto-Iranian *náyjakam, derived from *náyjam, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *náyȷ́žʰam (“spear, sharp tip”). Compare Middle Persian nyck' (nēzag), Persian نیزه (neyze, nêza), Avestan 𐬥𐬀𐬉𐬰𐬀- (naēza-), and Arabic نَيْزَك (nayzak). Doublet of найза (naiza).

köken: Cognate with Chut [Mày] katoŋ¹ (Babaev & Samarina, 2018). The spelling giông appears to arise from hypercorrection and is often attributed to Vũ Trọng Phụng's Giông Tố (1936), but there are plenty of examples of giông that predate the novel; for example, it is attested in the second volume of Nam Kỳ phong tục nhơn vật diễn ca (1909).
From Ottoman Turkish صاغناق (sağanak). Related to Ottoman Turkish صاغنامق (sağnamak, “to squirt, spray”). Compare Mongolian [script needed] (şagi-, “to pour down, to rain heavily”).
