堤岸

Chinese

		dike	bank; shore; beach bank; shore; beach; coast
simp. and trad. (堤岸)		堤	岸

Etymology

Cholon: An Chi (2016) thinks that the form 堤岸 (meaning "embankment") arose from folk etymology; pointing to the variant form 提岸, he proposes that both transcribed a local toponym which also yielded Vietnamese Sài Gòn (whence Cantonese 西貢／西贡 (sai¹ gung³)).[1] See Sài Gòn for further etymology.
