Glyph origin

edit

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *daŋʔ) : semantic + phonetic (OC *daŋʔ).

Etymology

edit

Thought to be the same word as (OC *daŋʔ) "gentleman, older man, husband", i.e. "someone who walks with, or leans on, a staff"; though unlikely.

According to Schuessler (2007), this is an areal word. Compare Mizo tiang (staff, stick, crutch), Old Khmer toŋ (shaft, stock, shank), -toṅa (stock, stem, stick), and Khmer ដង (dɑɑng, pole, shaft, handle, yoke, body, trunk). Benedict (1976) also compares this to Proto-Tai *de:ŋ ~ *tʰe:ŋ (stick, bar), Malay tiang (pillar, post, pole), Fijian ndia (stick, handle), and to reconstructed Proto-Austro-Tai *(n)ti(j)aŋ.

A derivative, attested in Zuozhuan as (zhàng), is the verb (OC *daŋs) "to lean on", with suffix *-s → *-h去聲去声 (qùshēng).
