Small seal script

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *sroːd, *srod) : semantic (knife) + phonetic 𡰯 (). It represents the act of shaving something flat with a knife, and by extension, is used to convey the meanings of "to scrape" or "to print."[1]

Etymology

[edit]

Perhaps from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s(u/i)t (to wipe, sweep, rub, scrub) (STEDT). Cognate with Tibetan བཤུད (bshud, to wipe), Burmese သုတ် (sut, idem)[1] (though STEDT mistakenly puts down (OC *sqʰʷiɡ, “to sympathize, compensate”) for the Chinese character instead).
