Glyph origin

More information Historical forms of the character 容, Western Zhou ...

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *loŋ): semantic + phonetic (OC *kloːŋ) – to hold; to contain.

容 has also largely supplanted (OC *sɢloŋs, *loŋ) for the sense of “appearance”.

Etymology

to hold, to contain
Probably related to Tibetan ལུང (lung, holder) (Schuessler, 2007).
facial appearance
Note phonetic and semantic resemblance to Burmese ယောင် (yaung, appearance, semblance), though the discrepancy in initials is problematic (Luce, 1981).
“ronna-”
Phono-semantic matching of English ronna-. Coined by the China National Committee for Terminology in Science and Technology and the State Administration for Market Regulation on World Metrology Day in 2023 (20 May 2023).
