Chinese
Glyph origin
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *qraːb): phonetic 甲 (OC *kraːb) + semantic 鳥 (“bird”).
Etymology
Shuowen commented that 鴨 is the colloquial name for 鶩 (OC *moɡs, *moːɡ, “duck”). Probably onomatopoeic in origin. Compare Proto-Tani *ǰap (“duck”).
Another word meaning "duck" in Old Chinese is 鴄 (OC *pʰid), a substrate loanword, possibly from Tai-Kadai or Austroasiatic.
- “male prostitute”
- By analogy with 雞／鸡 (jī, “female prostitute”, literally “chicken”). First used in 1991 film 《雞鴨戀》. (Zhang, 2018)
