In the oracle bone script, it was a pictogram (象形) of an arrow with a flat arrowhead (cf. 矢, an arrow) – original character of 錍 (OC *pʰeː, *pe, “arrow with a flat arrowhead”).
In the bronze script, a dot was added to the centre, which later became a short line. The bottom of the glyph eventually corrupted into 廾 or 丌. On the basis of the latter shape, Shuowen erroneously interprets the character as a phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *pids) : phonetic 甶 (OC *pɯd) + semantic 丌 (“pedestal”).

Usage notes
edit- In Cantonese, when 畀 is used as a ditransitive verb meaning “to give”, the indirect object usually follows the direct object.
- In a passive-voice sentence in Cantonese, 畀 is always followed by an object and not a verb, unlike Mandarin 被 (bèi) which can be followed by an object or a verb. 人 (jan4) can be used as a dummy object when the doer is not specified.
