Glyph origin Edit

Characters in the same phonetic series (家) (Zhengzhang, 2003)

	Old Chinese
家	*kraː
傢	*kraː
幏	kraː, kraːs
稼	*kraːs
嫁	*kraːs

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *kraːs): semantic 女 + phonetic 家 (OC *kraː).

Etymology Edit

Exoactive of 家 (OC *kraː, “home, house”), with the addition of the denominal verbalisation suffix *-s in Old Chinese, meaning “to go to one's new home; to become married”. In the Baxter–Sagart system, an additional pronunciation is posited for the causative sense (“to make someone become married; to marry off”), formed with the prolific Old Chinese causative prefix *s-. Compare 娶.
