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

===Etymology 1===
{{zh-ref|Schuessler (2007)}} suggests it is of {{der|zh|sit}} origin and compares it to {{cog|cnh||tr=nôoy-I, nǒoy-II|t=be muddy}}, which STEDT derives from {{cog|tbq-kuk-pro|*nooy ~ *naay||muddy; dirty}}. According to {{zh-ref|Schuessler (2007)}}, {{och-l|泥|id=1|mud}} is also cognate with {{och-l|濘|id=3}} but not with {{och-l|涅}}, and is distinct from {{och-l|泥|id=2|impeded}}.

On the other hand, STEDT compares {{och-l|泥}} to {{cog|sit-pro|*s-njak||filth(y); excrement}}, to which {{och-l|敜}} and {{och-l|涅}} are also compared.
