Glyph origin

edit
Characters in the same phonetic series (辡) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
辬 *praːn
瓣 *breːns
辦 *breːns
辨 *breːns, *brenʔ
辡 *prenʔ, *brenʔ
辯 *brenʔ
辮 *beːnʔ

From 辧, a phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *breːns, *brenʔ) : phonetic 辡 (OC *prenʔ, *brenʔ) + semantic 刀 (“knife”).

Etymology

edit

Cognate with 辯 (OC *brenʔ). 辨 (OC *brenʔ, “divide, distinguish, discriminate, dispute”) and its two exopassive derivatives 釆 (“Literally, “(to cause to be) divided” > discriminate, distinguish”) and 瓣 (OC *breːns, “Literally, “what is divided” > piece, section, segment”) belong to the same word-family, which may be related to either 班 (OC *praːn, “to distribute → to arrange, classify → class, group”) or Mizo pʰel (“to split, cut in halves”) (with medial *-r- dropped after labial initials according to Mizo phonotactics) (Schuessler, 2007).
