Glyph origin

[edit]
Historical forms of the character
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *teːŋ, *teːŋs) : semantic (metal) + phonetic (OC *rteːŋ, *teːŋ).

Some theorize that (OC *teːŋ) originally meant “nail”. After subsequently losing this original meaning, the character was created to represent “nail” with the semantic element (“metal”) added.

Related to (OC *teːŋs, *deːŋs) (Baxter and Sagart, 2014). Pronunciation 2 is a denominal verb derivation of pronunciation 1.
