Chinese

trad.		鬍
simp.		胡*

Glyph origin

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声): semantic 髟 (“hair”) + phonetic 胡 (OC *ɡaː).

Etymology

From 胡 (OC *ɡaː, “wattle; dewlap of an animal”), i.e. “that which hangs down from the chin” (Wang, 1980).

STEDT proposes that this word comes from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-wu (“beard”), but there are phonological problems with this reconstruction.
