có đủ

VI

Etymology
"có" comes from Old Vietnamese *ko meaning to possess, "đủ" comes from Old Vietnamese *ɗu meaning fullness. The phrase emerged in the 15th century to describe having an adequate amount of something.
Memory Aid
"có" sounds like "have" in English, and "đủ" rhymes with "enough" when spoken slowly — which matches the meaning.
