From Proto-Polynesian *kawa (cognates include Hawaiian ʻawa, Tongan kava and Samoan ʻava)[1][2] from Proto-Oceanic *kawaʀ (“potent root”) metathesis of Proto-Oceanic *wakaʀ (“root”), thus doublet of aka. Sense of plant lost with species introduced to Aotearoa dying out due to its cold climate.[3] Sense of "marae protocol" seems to be a modern extension.
