Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (妾) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
More information Old Chinese ...

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ʔseb): semantic 扌 + phonetic 妾 (OC *sʰeb) – to receive (in the hand).

Etymology 1

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *tsjap (“to join, connect”). Related to 際 (OC *ʔsleds, “connection, border”), as well as to Burmese စပ် (cap, “to adjoin”) (STEDT).

STEDT also adduces another family, with similar phonetics and semantics, which however does not appear to be related:

  • 揖 (OC *qib, “to cluster together, crowd”)
  • 輯 (OC *zib, “to gather up, fold up, be crowded together”)
  • 集 (OC *zub, “to collect, come together, unite, accomplish”)
  • 雜 (OC *zuːb, “variegated, mixed”)

Pronunciation

Note: diap1 - “to catch, to pick up (a person)”.
Note:
  • zi6 - vernacular;
  • zieh6 - literary.
