Where this word comes from

Inherited from Malay susu, from Proto-Malayic *susu(ʔ) (“breast”), from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *susu, from Proto-Austronesian *susu. The current sense of "milk" is developed from "breast" sense (now largely displaced by payudara) → air susu (“breast milk”, literally “breast water”) (now replaced by the specific term air susu ibu (“breast milk”, literally “mother's milk water”)) → "milk" (generalized to all types of milk).
