===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}
{{Han compound|水|alt1=氵|皮|ls=psc|c1=s|c2=p|t1=water}}.

===Etymology 1===
{{zh-forms}}
{{etymid|zh|wave}}
; “wave; undulation”
: Debated.
: {{zh-ref|STEDT}} and {{zh-ref|Starostin}} derive it from {{inh|zh|sit-pro|*r/m-ba||wave; ripple}}. Cognate with {{cog|bo|རྦ}}, {{m|bo|དབའ||wave}}.
: {{zh-ref|Schuessler (2007)}} notes a mismatch of the vowels in the above comparanda, and instead posits a root ''*paj'' (“slanted; not level”), also subsuming {{och-l|陂|gloss=slope; slanting|id=1}}.
: {{zh-ref|Wang (1982)}} relates it to {{och-l|播|gloss=to winnow}}, {{och-l|簸|gloss=to winnow}}.
