Glyph origin

edit
Historical forms of the character
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts
   

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *nuʔ): semantic (silk) + phonetic (OC *n̥ʰuʔ) – a handle. However, the phonetic component indicates either an animal claw or a hand, hence it adds part of the meaning.

Etymology

edit

Possibly from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-na ~ s-naːr (nose); see there for more discussion.
