History
Etymology
Clipping of sandwich + -o (“colloquial”).
From Japanese サンド (sando), a shortening from English sandwich.
Unknown. Oldest attestation found in the Philippines is from 1943 in the Official Gazette of the Japanese Military Administration of the Philippines, Volume 2. Possibly from Japanese, just like Tagalog sando as per Potet (2016). See also Japanese ランニングシャツ (ranningushatsu, “sleeveless undershirt; tank top; singlet; vest”) and サンド (sando). Compare Bengali স্যান্ডো গেঞ্জি (sênḍō genji), Assamese English sando-ganji, Hindi सैंडो गंजी (saiṇḍo gañjī), Kapampangan sandu, Central Bikol sando, Waray-Waray sando.
