Chinese
Glyph origin
Etymology
Possibly related to Tibetan སྡོམ (sdom, “spider”), which is likely related to Tibetan སྡོམ (sdom, “to bind; to tie”), 蔪 (OC *zamʔ, “to entwine”) (Bodman, 1980; Coblin, 1986). The silkworm, as the spider, would thus be seen as a "binder; spinner". Compare the semantic development of English spider, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *spinnaną (“to spin”).
These may be derived from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *tip ~ *tu(p/m) (“to wrap up”), whence also གཏུམ (gtum, “to wrap up”), Burmese ထုပ် (htup, “to wrap, bundle”); other Chinese comparanda include 縶 (OC *tib, “to rope, tether, bind”), and 纏 (OC *dan, *dans, “to bind”) (STEDT).
