Ideogram (指事) - an arrowhead indicating "to enter".

Compare 人 (rén).

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *nup ~ nip. Cognate with Tibetan ནུབ (nub, “to fall (gradually), sink, to set; to decay, to decline”) and Burmese နိပ် (nip, “to decline (e.g. price); to be suppressed, to settle, to be quelled”).

Chinese characters belonging to the same word family include:

• 納 (OC *nuːb, “to make enter”)
• 內 (OC *nuːbs, “inside”)
• 軜 (OC *nuːb, “reins on the inside of the horse”)
• 妠 (OC *nuːms, *nuːb, *rnoːd, “to marry (a girl)”)
• 躡 (OC *neb, “to tiptoe, tread”)
• 攝 (OC *neːb, *ʔnjeb, “to take in, photograph, grasp”)
• 鑷 (OC *neb, “tweezers, forceps”)
• and potentially Cantonese 擸 (laap3, “to bring together, to collect”)

The regular Mandarin pronunciation as predicted from Middle Chinese is rì. The irregular sound change is for taboo reasons - to avoid homophony with its derived vulgar meaning "to enter > to have sexual intercourse", nowadays represented by 日 (rì).
