Glyph origin

[edit]
Historical forms of the character
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts

According to Shuowen Jiezi, Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *krub) : semantic + phonetic (OC *kuːb, *ɡuːb) – "rich, abundant", perhaps with a reference to precious silk; today it also means "to give". The phonetic component means "to join, to unite", however it is likely unrelated to the original meaning.

Etymology 1

[edit]
trad.
simp.

Starostin reconstructs Proto-Sino-Tibetan *qǝ̆p (to give; to supply), comparing it to Burmese အပ် (ap, to commit; to deliver; to hand over), Jingpho ap (to hand over), Lepcha ᰀᰤᰬᰱ (kjep, to add to; to multiply), ᰃᰤᰱ (gjap, many).

In Mandarin, Jin and Xiang, pronunciations 1 and 2 are generally thought of as colloquial and literary readings respectively, from the same Middle Chinese etymon (Zhengzhang, 2002; Liu, 2021; among others). Pronunciation 2, the literary reading, is a regular reflex from Middle Chinese. However, since pronunciation 1 is highly irregular, others have proposed alternative etymologies for it:
