Etymology

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