Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *baːŋ, *baŋ) : semantic 戶 (“door”) + phonetic 方 (OC *paŋ, *baŋ).

Also could be an ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) : 戶 (“door”) + 方 (homonym of 旁 (OC *baːŋ, “side”)), as it originally referred to one of the two rooms beside the central room (side room).

Etymology 1

Etymology not certain. Probably Sino-Tibetan; compare Tibetan བང་བ (bang ba, “storeroom; storehouse”), Burmese ဝင်း (wang:, “enclosure”) (Bodman, 1980). Alternatively, compare Tibetan བྲང (brang, “house”) (as in ཕོ་བྲང (pho brang, “palace”) and བྲང་ཁང (brang khang, “dwelling house”)) (Schuessler, 2007).
