English meaning : respected person; measure of earth [L.Zhou]
Russian meaning[s]: 1) чжан (китайская сажень = 3,2 метра); измерять землю; 2) почтенный человек; 3) тесть
Comments: Both meanings are probably derived from 長 *traŋʔ 'to become long, grow up; elder, senior' (q.v.) ("elder, senior" > "respected person"; "to measure length" > "measure of earth, measure of length"). The meaning "respected person" gave rise (as early as in Han) to a narrower meaning "father-in-law". In this sense the word was borrowed in Viet. as du'ọ'ng 'stepfather; husband of one's aunt or sister' (the regular Sino-Viet. rendering of 丈 is tru'ọ'ng).
