Ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : 㚔 (“criminal / handcuffs”) + 丮 (“hand”): to arrest. In the present form, 㚔 (niè) and 丮 (jǐ) have been replaced by 幸 (xìng) and 丸 (wán), respectively.

Also phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *tjib) : phonetic 㚔 () + semantic 丮.

Etymology edit

Possibly related to Tibetan ཆབ (chab, “power; dominion”) or Khmer ចាប់ (cap, “to grasp; to seize”) (Schuessler 2007). Korean 집 (jip-, “to pick up; to grab”) is probably coincidental.

“to go bankrupt and close down”
Clipping of 執笠／执笠.
