Clipping of morokoshi kibi  (もろこしきび) 'sorghum', with the shortened reading then re-applied to the entire original kanji compounds 唐黍 and 蜀黍.

morokoshi kibi  (もろこしきび) is a compound of morokoshi (唐), “China in general; (by extension) foreign”) +‎ kibi (黍) 'millet'.

Also tōmorokoshi (玉蜀黍) 'maize' from  (唐) 'Tang Dynasty; China in general; (by extension) foreign' +‎ morokoshi 'sorghum'.

From haeux 'rice; grain' +‎ yangz, a morpheme from Chinese, often thought to be from 洋 (Middle Chinese yang 'foreign'), though Wei (2018) suggests that it is more likely from 皇 (Middle Chinese hwang 'imperial') instead. Cognate with Bouyei hauxyaangz 'sorghum'.
