Glyph origin
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *laː): semantic 木 (“tree”) + phonetic 耶 (OC *laː).
Etymology
Attested as early as the Jin dynasty (晉朝). Compare earlier form 楈枒 (OC *sŋa/sŋaʔ ŋraː/ŋraːs), 胥邪 (OC *sŋa/sŋaʔ ljaː/laː), 胥餘 (OC *sŋa/sŋaʔ la) (attested since Han dynasty).
Li Shizhen thinks 椰 (yé) is possibly derived from 爺 (yé), a native Southerners' word for tribal chiefs (Bencao Cangmu, 31).
Compare to Proto-Chamic *laʔur.
