===Etymology===
From Malay ''[[wikt:cacing#Malay|cacing]]'' "worm".
Although a popular folk etymology of the word is that it is derived from the platform video game ''[[w:Earthworm Jim|Earthworm Jim]]'', the word is actually a clipping of the Yabo word ''jajim'', which itself is borrowed from {{der|beme|ms|cacing}}.
