Glyph origin edit

Historical forms of the character
Shang Western Zhou Warring States Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Oracle bone script Bronze inscriptions Chu slip and silk script Small seal script
       

Ideogrammic compound (會意会意): (eye) + (spear;weapon) – "slave; prisoner of war" (slaves in ancient China were blinded, hence the component. Compare and ). The phonetic component (OC *zaŋ), absent in the oracle-bone script, was added at a later stage (see Yang, 1965, and references therein), leading Shuowen to interpret the character as a phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *ʔsaːŋ): phonetic (OC *kaːl, *ʔsaːŋ, *zaŋ) + semantic .

Etymology 1 edit

Sino-Tibetan; cognate with Tibetan བཟང (bzang, good; fine) (Coblin, 1986).
