Etymology

Perhaps from Proto-Italic *kengō, from a Proto-Indo-European *kenk- (“to gird, tie”). Possibly related to Lithuanian kinkýti (“to bridle horses”) and Sanskrit कञ्च् (kañc, “to bind”), कञ्चुक (kañcuka, “armor”); however, these terms present phonetic problems regarding their cognacy.

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /ˈkin.ɡoː/, [ˈkɪŋɡoː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈt͡ʃin.ɡo/, [ˈt͡ʃiŋɡo]
