Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (泉) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
線 *sqʰeːns
泉 *sɡʷen
葲 *sɡʷen
灥 *kʰʷjen, *sɢʷin

Pictogram (象形) or ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : 白 (“spring mouth”) + 水 (“water”) – water flowing from the source of a spring.

Etymology

edit

Schuessler (2007) minimally reconstructs the Old Chinese as *dzwan and also reconstructs Proto-Tibeto-Burman *tso (“to bubble; to boil”) (> Tibetan འཚོད་པ ('tshod pa, “to be boiled”), Tibetan བཙོས (btsos, “to cook in boiling water”), Burmese ဆူ (hcu, “to boil; to bubble”)), and considers 泉 (OC *sɡʷen, “spring (of water)”) to be cognate to it (with an n-suffix nominalization). However, STEDT considers the above three Tibeto-Burman terms to be descended from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *tsjow (“to boil; to burn; to bake; to bake”), to which 焦 (OC *ʔsew, “to roast; to burn; to scorch”) is cognate.
