===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}

In the oracle bone script, it was an {{liushu|ic|nocap=1}}: 2 or 4 {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|屮||grass}} or even {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|木||tree}} + {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|日||sun}} + {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|月||moon}} – the sun rising above the ground while the waning moon is still in the sky – the morning.

In the bronze script, it was a compound of {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|𠦝}} and a pictograph of a river ({{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|川}} or {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|水}}) – this was possibly an original form for {{och-l|潮|gloss=tide}}. The river glyph may be a corruption of {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|月}} due to association with tides or diurnal events. {{zh-ref|Chi (2010)}} considers such forms to be {{liushu|psc|nocap=1|adj=1}}, where {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|𠦝}} is the abbreviated form of the phonetic {{och-l|朝}}. In the some late Western Zhou forms, {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|𠦝}} was corrupted into a form resembling {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|車}}.

According to {{w|Guo Moruo}}, in the stone drum inscriptions ({{lw|zh|石鼓文}}, likely from the {{w|Spring and Autumn period}}) {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|㫃}} was added (attached to {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|車}}), and the river glyph was replaced with {{och-l|舟}}, which was interpreted as the phonetic component; the small seal script might have inherited from this form. ''{{w|Shuowen}}'' interpreted the fused components of {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|𠦝}} and {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|㫃}} as a semantic component {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|倝||dawn}}. However, the accuracy of identification has been questioned; the character was a heavily weathered one in which the {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|㫃}} identification was probably spurious and likely influenced by the ''{{w|Shuowen}}''. Meanwhile, the {{lang|zh|舟}} component on the right remained somewhat legible.<ref>{{cite-journal|zh|title=zh:郭沫若《石鼓文研究》摹本及释文辨正|author=zh:徐宝贵|journal={{lang|zh|考古学报}}|date=2007-07-15|issue=2007-03|pages=313–338}}</ref>

The {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|舟}} component remained in the {{w|bamboo and wooden slips}} of the {{w|Warring States period}} (see the table). In the clerical script since the {{w|Han dynasty}}, {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|舟}} had been reverted to {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|月}}; it is unclear whether this was a remnant from {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|月}} in the oracle bone script or a corruption of {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|舟}} (as in {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|朕}} < {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|𦩎}} and many other characters). The current form is essentially inherited from the clerical script.

===Etymology===
“Morning” > “perform the morning ceremony” > “to go/come to court; to have an audience”. Derivative: {{och-l|潮|gloss=morning tide}}.

Perhaps related to {{cog|th|เพรา||morning}} ({{zh-ref|Manomaivibool, 1975}}).

===Etymology 1===
{{etymid|ja|asa}}
{{ja-kanjitab|yomi=k|あさ}}
{{wp|lang=ja}}
{{wp|Morning}}

From {{inh|ja|ojp|-}}, from {{inh|ja|jpx-pro|*asa}}. Attested in the ''{{w|Man'yōshū}}'' of 759.<ref name="NKD2O-asa">{{R:ja:NKD2O|あさ 【朝】|lid=2002000f6bd37V14Ez0r|kotobank=朝-423925#w-1864538}}</ref>

Historically, a day was split into two halves:
* Afternoon cycle: {{m|ja||朝|tr=asa}} → {{m|ja|昼|tr=hiru}} → {{m|ja|夕|tr=yū}}
* Evening cycle: {{m|ja|夕べ|tr=yūbe}} → {{m|ja|宵|tr=yoi}} → {{m|ja|夜中|tr=yonaka}} → {{m|ja|暁|tr=akatsuki}} → {{m|ja|朝#Etymology 2|朝|tr=ashita}}
While ''asa'' and ''ashita'' represent the same time period, ''asa'' was associated with beginning of the afternoon and ''ashita'' was associated with the end of the night. Both terms share an initial ''as-'' and are likely etymologically related.

Beyond Japonic, possibly related to {{cog|okm|아ᄎᆞᆷ〮|tr=àchóm|t=morning}} > {{cog|ko|아침}}. {{w|Alexander Vovin}} believes this is a Koreanic borrowing into Japanese, identifying {{ncog|ja|つとめて|tr=tsutomete}} as the native Japonic root for "morning" ({{jpx-ref|Vovin 2010, p. 224}}).
* However, {{ja-r|つとめて}} is not attested until the late 800s or early 900s,<ref name="NKD2O-tsutomete">{{R:ja:NKD2O|つとめ‐て
|lid=200202d5dcd6G5Z602lA|kotobank=つとめて-572050#w-2052959}}</ref> and root {{m|ja|夙|tr=tsuto}} as in {{m|ja|夙に|tr=tsuto ni||early in the morning|pos=adverb}} not until roughly 850.<ref name="NKD2O-tsuto_ni">{{R:ja:NKD2O|つと‐に 【夙─】|lid=200202d5c66c4E6EEC8a|kotobank=夙に-572038#w-2052943}}</ref>

Alternatively, may be cognate with adjective {{m|ja|浅い|tr=asai||shallow; early}}, verbs {{m|ja|浅せる|tr=aseru||to become shallow}} and {{m|ja|褪せる|tr=aseru||to fade, to become pale}}.
* The concepts of "[[shallow]]" and "[[deep]]" are used in other respects relative to time, such as {{m|ja|夜更かし|tr=yofukashi||staying up late into the night}} and {{m|ja|夜更け|tr=yofuke||very late at night}}, where the ''fuk-'' root in both terms is from {{m|ja|深い|tr=fukai||deep; late, long-lasting}}.<ref name="NKD2O-asai">{{R:ja:NKD2O|あさ・い 【浅】|lid=2002000f93581Qy2C64h|kotobank=浅い-423944#w-1864574}}</ref>
