Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 村
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts
Characters in the same phonetic series (寸) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
村 *sʰuːn
忖 *sʰuːnʔ
刌 *sʰuːnʔ
寸 *sʰuːns

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *sʰuːn) : semantic 木 (“tree”) + phonetic 寸 (OC *sʰuːns).

Origin unclear. Seems a late graph, not in Shuowen dictionary of ca.100AD. Ogawa treats it as variant of CO graph 杶 "lacquer tree" which was used phonetically in the sense of "village" in place of another graph for "village", 邨, which may be taken provisionally as 阝 "settlement, village", and 屯 "accumulate, stay" as semantic and phonetic.[1]

Etymology 1

Noun

村 (*are) (kana あれ)

  1. a village

Etymology 2

No phonographic attestations exist. This reading is glossed to 村邑 in the Atsuda manuscript of the Nihon Shoki.

      took from the children, and stole from the village.

Etymology 3

Possibly derived from Old Korean 須祇 (*suki).[3]

  1. (in ancient Korean contexts) a village
