Etymology

From sampuo, from sampuwo, from older sampulo, ultimately from Proto-Austronesian *sa-ŋa-puluq (ten). Compare Ilocano sangapulo, Bikol Central sampulo, Maranao sapolo', Malay sepuluh, Bima sampuru, and Hawaiian anahulu (period of ten days). By surface analysis, sam- + pu, literally one ten.
