Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *rteŋʔ, *teːŋʔ) : semantic (hand) + phonetic (OC *rteːŋ, *teːŋ).

Etymology 1

edit

This post-classical word (its earliest extant attestation is in Shuowen) was pronounced *teŋ in Late Old Chinese, as would be expected from a phonetic. By the early Ming period, the character had been borrowed (訓讀训读) for another word () with the same meaning ("to flog, to beat") but a different pronunciation (whence Mandarin ), without the nasal ending. This may be related to the previous reading, as a dialectal variant. In Mandarin and some other varieties, the new reading became standard; however, derivations of the older pronunciation are still used in other varieties such as Wu and Min Nan, as well as Vietnamese (đánh).

It has been compared to Mizo dêng (to throw; to fling; to hammer) and proposed to be from Sino-Tibetan (Schuessler, 2007). Also compare Proto-Mon-Khmer *dah ~ daʔ (to hit, to meet), whence Mon ဒး (tɛ̀h, to hit (a mark), meet with, reach [goal], be correct, apposite, to fit) and Khmer ទះ (tĕəh, to slap, to strike).

The pronunciation da is recorded in 六書故 as 都假.
