Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 尌
Shang	Western Zhou	Warring States	Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Oracle bone script	Bronze inscriptions	Qin slip script	Shizhoupian script	Small seal script

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *djos) : semantic 木 (“tree”) + semantic 寸 (“hand”) + phonetic 豆 (OC *doːs) – a hand planting a tree.

In the modern form, 木 and 豆 have fused into 壴, and the character may be interpreted as a phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *djos) : phonetic 壴 (OC *tos) + semantic 寸 (“hand”).

This character has largely been superseded by 樹 (OC *djoʔ, *djos).
