Chinese
Glyph origin
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *brenʔ): phonetic 辡 (OC *prenʔ, *brenʔ) + semantic 言 (“say”). However, the phonetic component (which is the reduplication of the Kangxi radical of the knife to mark prisoners) perhaps symbolizes two prisoners accusing each other, hence "debating in an aggressive manner".
