Learned borrowing from Cebuano adlaw (“sun”) with a shift of stress, from Proto-Bisayan *qadlaw, from Proto-Central Philippine *qaldaw, from Proto-Philippine *qaljaw, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *qaləjaw. Proposed by Eusebio Daluz by the 20^th century to use the Visayan word instead of Tagalog araw (“sun; day”) to distinguish “sun” and “day” to have equivalents for Spanish sol (“sun”) and Spanish día (“day”). Doublet of araw.
